Title: Force UI update during intense AS work: doLater, maybe?

One part of our app does VERY intense work, building a tree, an inverted tree (thousands of nodes), and several arrays.  Even though I have a progress bar, and update it and its label throughout the various function calls, those updates never appear on the screen, until that particular processing ends and we go to get more data.

I have fiddled with using doLater between the recursive function calls, but did not have any success forcing the screen to repaint.

Is doLater the right idea?  Do I put my screen update code before the doLater? After? How can I tell the processing to take a breath and let the UI render?
