Near mates, some engines bomb Scid with outputs (going to ply 100 at high
speed when there is a mate in 5). I don't see much problem even in that case
(2 cores, 2 GB of RAM).

I opened a 4M games as Tree, clicking randomly on various moves without
problem except the tree refreshes often. When Scid is found frozen what are
your stats for CPU, I/O and RAM ?
