Windows: "not responding"

[Tom Glod]

to add something to this.... what also seems to help alleviate the problem
is to change the frequency in which the screen updates happen......so show
the progress every 10% instead of every .1% or 1%.

LC is actually really fast at processing variables and chunks....and to be
able to go top speed will be great .....one day when this is addressed.
