App crash/GUI irresponsive on Mesh Boolean

[witchcraftsman]

OrcaSlicer Version

1.8.1

OS version

macOS 12.7.2

Additional system information

10 core CPU (macbook pro 2021) 32gb RAM

Printer

Not applicable

How to reproduce

1. Add a complex shape (300k+ triangles)
2. Add a simple shape (800 triangles)
3. Assemble them
4. Subtract from shape 1 with shape 2 using Mesh Boolean

Actual results

• Subtraction uses just one core (that's OK, the same is with Fusion 360, for instance)
• GUI dies, it's not possible to switch from/to app to see the progress or to cancel the operation - it just won't render (that's bad)
• It goes on for a while then RAM becomes exhausted (see the screenshot)

Expected results

• This should should at least finish at the end
• GUI handling could be on a separate process
• RAM usage should be controlled, or the operation should be prohibited with memory pre-calculations done

another Mac crash that is possibly related to #2921 which might be interesting to look at, since on mac it seems to run out of memory.
