Same here. I'm using a very new MackBook Pro (2.5Ghz core 2, 4GB memory), so it can't be the computer. "automator busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy, busy...." It feels like my brain gets stuck when that happens.
Regardless if Apple fixes Automator, they should make VoiceOver say busy a little less frequently. Once every 2 or 3 seconds would be just fine.

Automator's constantly busy, so I just said screw it, and gave up playing more with it. Heh.
