It's not only the NS port. There is a git branch
feature/tramp-thread-safe dedicated to make Tramp thread-safe. However,
this doesn't work well yet, see for example bug#25214 / bug#32426.
Furthermore, the "ftp" method navigates from Tramp to Ange-FTP. I
haven't tested this for being thread-safe; given that nobody has worked
on this I would expect even more problems.
Anyway, if you intend to continue to test this functionality, I
recommend you to use the said branch. There are changes which make file
visiting commands async aware, via a prefix command. "C-x & C-x C-f ..."
is supposed to visit files asynchronously. This works for both local
files and remote files; but for local files you'll see the difference
for large files only.
Best regards, Michael.
