That doesn't work for me. Once the busy stuff starts, then its all over. The busy messages will stop after a moment, but, as soon as I move the focus, they start again.
For me, the only thing that works is to save, close, and re-open the workflow. That gets old to do that every time I add/drop/move an action, though. So, I use Automator if I can make the workflow happen with 2-3 actions. Anymore than that, and it is faster to use AppleScript directly, if you can believe it.

In my experience with this and I've had a bit since Snow Leopard and none before, ironically, <grin> the busy thing can usually be fixed by switching out of automator and back in. In other words, hit cmd-tab twice. I have absolutely no idea *why* this works, but it usually does for me, anyway.
