OS X just slows everything down so you won't notice when something get stuck.

I've been a Mac user for 7 years now, my latest greatest MacBook Pro halts for a few seconds when I connect an external monitor and everything is frozen and unresponsive, like I'm looking at a screenshot of the system

OS multitasking is still usually shit...

That's at least excusable, unlike GUI freeze caused by termination of a number of processes which don't even use the GUI.

My ten year old crappy MacBook Pro doesn't do that. Weird.
