I use the LoadingPanel control (it may be an extension). Maximize just before the read operation and minimize at end of wfs handler function.
That said, using WFS for vector layers isnt great. I would strongly consider the strategy of WMS for display and WFS for query. Because the query returns a subset (and you can specify only the attributes you want in propertyNames), it is much faster. You can use SLDSelect when you have huge geometries that could be selected. WMSGetFeatureInfo control with hover true can you much of the functionality of vector layers without bringing down and trying to draw it on the client.
