can we get a "please stand by while loading options list" window that pops up to let us know that something is, indeed, happening?

Running "fpc -i" and "fpc -h" takes on recent machines less than 30ms.
Something eats a lot of time. Probably the creation of hundreds of
controls.

This is a 450MHz SPARC on my desktop, which is probably about as slow as anybody will come across (note: unless running as a Qemu guest):

$ time fpc -i >/dev/null

real    0m0.028s

$ time fpc -h >/dev/null

real    0m0.137s

$ time ppcsparc -i >/dev/null

real    0m0.020s

$ time ppcsparc -h >/dev/null

real    0m0.112s
