This method is intended to be called from background thread. It should perform all time-consuming tasks required to build an editor, and return a builder instance that will be called in EDT to create UI for the editor.

Currently, this method is called from a background thread only when editors are reopened on IDE startup. In other cases, it's still invoked on EDT, so executing time-consuming tasks in it will block the UI.
