Why? It still 'hangs' for 5 seconds.

That's how it should work in such a case.

No, it doesn't. But: many people don't know what to do if the explorer
hangs and just reboot. And a reboot while you have apps open means data
loss. Yes, you could kill the cache process, but how many people would
even know how to kill a process, or even know which process is causing
the lockup?
