It’s probably the latter — the search itself is threaded, but since 
UI has to run on the main thread, updating the list of results will 
affect perceived performance, and with thousands of results, it’ll 
probably be noticable.

I searched for the same regexp in my home folder and aborted it after 
~12,500 matches, it did take a few seconds (of beachball) before it 
actually responded, though not anywhere near as bad as what you 
experience.
