what about other MC's that are on the screen when this happens.  Will it
freeze thouse, even if they are independant of the timeline that the script
is on?

Large script:  Flash freezes everything until it is finished processing and
then moves on.  Since everything is frozen while it processes, you cannot
make any animation to keep the user entertained.  Xtra large script:  If it
is too much, you can get an error saying the script is too slow and the
movie won't work.  I've had this happen a lot with XML files.  Best thing to
do is try and break the script up over several frames.
