Also, might be a good idea to spawn a separate thread to generate the aux file
in the background...

Tim, and others,
By the way, there is a mechanism in GDAL to support storing .aux.xml
information in an alternative directory when the file cannot be
created on the target directory due to permissions, read-only media, etc.
This is enabled by setting the GDAL_PAM_PROXY_DIR option to
point to a directory where files can be written. If there is a place
known to QGIS that would be good for this, it might make sense
to take advantage of this.
Best regards,
