 Yes, wxBusyInfo should definitely be only used in conjunction with the
delay I mentioned earlier, it's worse than useless if it's shown for a very
short time.

 I'll post the patch using the gauge in the status bar soon so that you
could see how it looks yourself but IMHO it's not too bad (although I
tested it only in debug build so far, where things are much slower than
normal).
