Well, I hope so. In the mean time I have discarded the use of a dialog with an indeterminate progress bar and I'm using a determinate progress bar within my layout (I cannot use the progress bar in the window title because it still consumes a lot of CPU due to the animation).
I update the progress bar periodically with a thread (sleeping a couple of seconds between updates) and that way I simulate an indeterminate progress bar with a determinate one . I don't know if it is the best solution, but at least the cpu consumption is minimal.
