I made sure to keep the "Chapter1.html" tab open as the active tab.
I just tested Calibre again, and it looks like it does this:
1. Preview is generated.
2. Keep "Chapter1.html" open as the active tab.
3. Shift-click + highlight all chapter files.
Right-Click > "Merge selected text files"
Select Chapter1.html bullet.
4. It looks like preview window still keeps the old Chapter1 preview cache (?) displaying there.
5. The instant you click within Code View, the preview window kicks into "Loading preview, please wait..." and takes ~6 seconds to generate a new one.
But as I said, the entire time, you're able to edit code, open up menus, etc. etc. all at full-speed.
Sigil, at that point, every single thing you click on or do became a slog.
Also, as I was typing my post above (~30 mins), I noticed when I clicked back into the merged Sigil window, the entire window re-froze up and went back to "Not Responding" for maybe ~15 seconds. (Preview not open.)

I assume calibre is using multiple threads to handle the merging as well. That might make some sense to look into.
