Not responding to events is bad since (while the wait cursor is spinning)

Well, depens on the actual task. I'd say some 10, perhaps (arguably) even
20 seconds might be all right, and not worth to an extra panel with
indicator. If the delay can be longer, well, then another thread is the
best solution, for even if the app can't do anything more reasonable, it
is still good to be able to check About or Help or Prefs or whatever
whilst the computation is done ;)))
