Frequent GUI freezes when adding large torrents

On torrents with huge files, e.g. 20-150 GB the GUI completely freezes for 5-20 minutes upon adding such torrent.

The file storage drive is NTFS, different from the main Linux system. It is R/W for my user, so in that regard everything is probably configured correctly. The option to preallocate disk space is disabled. I have moved to the new ntfs driver, the freezes got about twice as short, but are still embarrassingly long.

Any ideas?
