GUI... GUI... Use CLI even on Windows ! :-) 
Use ssid-based recovery for such recover. 
Using GUI is mainly for recovering small amount of files.

When you need to recover an entire drive or a big tree, 
use recover -S ssid (look at manpage, sorry, at pdf doc for other
options) and think to also suppress verbose output (use -q option)
to max the recover speed, everybody knows displaying filename
of recovered files slow down the recover process (displaying
being slower than IOWrite)

Yeah, we were going to use networker user to do an initial restore of data
to a new server that we were migrating to.  This was a server with thousands
of files on it.  When I tried to select the top level folder in networker
user I could see it "selecting" the files in the subfolders.  15 minutes
later all the files in the 1st subfolder hadn't been selected.  Needless to
say we just used robocopy for the initial copy of the data. :)

Yep - Nothing new. We used to have a test server that periodically got
reloaded with data from its production counterpart's backup. Try selecting
multiple directories with a total of several hundred thousand (mostly
small) files... It would hang for more than an hour(s) at times. But it
always ended up restoring OK.
