Worker blocks UI thread in Chrome

Question

I am creating a web application that uses EvaporateJS to upload large files to Amazon S3 using Multipart Uploads. I noticed a problem when every time a new piece was launched, the browser froze for ~ 2 seconds. I want the user to be able to continue using my application while loading, and this freezing makes this a bad experience.

I used Chrome’s chronology to examine what caused this, and found that it was SparkMD5 hashing. So I moved the entire boot process to Work, which I thought would fix the problem.

Ok, the issue is now fixed in Edge and Firefox, but Chrome still has the same issue.

Here is a screenshot of my timeline:
