I think we have a consensus on IRC.
On switching to the automatic partitioning page, we will disable the
progress dialog and just use a spinning mouse cursor. This is not
particularly slower than other page transitions now, so it doesn't make
sense to treat it specially.
On switching to the advanced partitioning page, we can expect a longer
delay; I have a test case which is complicated but not actually
completely unreasonable, and takes on the order of 15 seconds. For
this, we'll display the page furniture ASAP, and while we're trying to
fill in the contents by scanning partitions, we will display a spinner
and progress message to the bottom right of the partition list box, as
we do currently when recalculating partitions after manual partitioner
operations.
