As I said, I investigated this a little deeper.
- the explorer is *not* constantly refreshing.
- Refreshs are done for every folder that get's its overlay changed due
to a different status in one of its child folders or files.
- If you kill the cache, this is done a lot (depending on how many
modified files you have in your working copy). But after the cache is
up-to-date, this won't happen anymore.

So, to sum up: the repeated refreshs are only there until the cache is
up-to-date. Once that's done, you won't see repeated refreshs anymore
(not even on the next startup, because the cache is saved to disk and
loaded from there again on the next startup).

I created my own test wc with a folder containing only externals. So I
was finally able to fix the wrong overlays on such folders (in revision
3274).

What I'm more interested in is the explorer lock up. If it's really a
lock up and not just a slow response of course.
Can you please test and check if it really locks or if the explorer
still responds?
