Thanks folks, however the progress bar is driven by the script, yet it is in not responding state, and I cannot do anything, however it should be quite important to have the feedback of what's happening. I turned off the logging, because I gain at least double speed. Now the user who should run the script will have no clue if XSI is running or hung.
