Description
I am running a program in the background which takes a lot of CPU resources, and I limited the program to run only in some cores on my PC to avoid it from effecting other programs to run. However, in DrRacket every time when I click save after I make some changes it will stuck there and have no respond for a while.
The system I am using is Windows 11, and my CPU has 20 logic processors, and the program I'm running is running on 8 of them. I think this might be caused by the problem with multi-tasking while some of the threads might be stuck in the cores that are occupied, and it influenced the main thread and all other threads from working.

Research direction
Reproduce the save operation in DrRacket on Windows 11 while another program occupies eight of the 20 logical processors. The issue names no source files or tests, so begin by tracing the save path and identifying where the pause occurs; done means confirming and addressing the lag without the workload running.
