Yes, I can confirm the solution from that ticket (#54458) works. Using
"/dcc get -t", no problems are observed. Emacs remains responsive, and
the CPU usage during the transfer is slightly lower, too.

From what I understood, this is more of sender-specific issue, which is
well-known. Let me know if a reproducible example is still needed, I can
arrange something and send it off-list if necessary.

PS: Sorry for the noise, I did a debbugs search for "erc dcc" beforehand
but it yielded no results.
