Well, I'm not an expert of GUI, but somewhat I feel that scrollbar was
actually designed _exactly_ for that.
Correct me please if I am wrong, but I feel this is a question of
consistency: the user sees progress indicator, well! He presumes the
application is performing some lenghty computation, and the thing informs him
how far it is. The user sees scrollbar? Right! He presumes there are some
data of which just part is shown, and the thing informs him which part, and
how big it is.
