Yeah I got MacOS freezes sometimes - never checked Activity Monitor to see why though.

On Windows it's usually the hard drive being over-used that makes things drag for me.

Yeah, Windows file system backend is highly object oriented and has a bunch of event driven hooks. Which is great for supporting tools like antivirus. But terrible for lots of small random writes (on area Linux and most UNIX systems excel at).
