No, that happens to me too. It takes a while for FFF to do its thing, but Windows considers an application hung when it goes five seconds without reading the event queue and whites it out.

The usual solution to this is to move heavy tasks off to a second thread, and FFF does that with 'use background metadata' option on "update existing fanfiction book." I think there were mentions some difficulties in implementing it elsewhere, but I may be misremembering.
