Why does ArcGIS run in the foreground when editing data?
If you are editing data, all geoprocessing tools execute in the foreground. Even if the data you are editing is not used by geoprocessing tools, ArcGIS will still execute all tools in the foreground. This is to prevent a situation where a tool running in the background modifies data that you are editing.
