Why would speed be an issue with a progressbar (unless it is as slow as turtle crawling up a slope). Normally one would display a progressbar during operations that take a long time by nature, to inform the user that progress is still going on. If the operation takes less time then drawing the progressbar, a progressbar shouldn't be needed. E.g. im my backup program I display a progressbar during the copying of individual files. If a file is smaller than e certain threshold I simply omit displaying the progressbar, since it is effectively of no use then.
