Agreed, perhaps as a non-modal progress bar?

That way, it would not interfere with the interactivity (eg zooming/ 
panning/rotating the view) and could display an estimated remaining  
time before the job is started...

I think Mach has an elapsed time and estimated time remaining (based  
on videos that I have seen of it running on Youtube). Which is where I  
got the idea from - that and running an operation, I thought more than  
once: "I wonder how much more time it will be"...
