There are many places where slow visual feedback is a problem to the user. Even on a modest system .

eg. I select 200 books to send via wireless to Calibre Companion. After I click Send to device: Nothing, for over a minute at which time the Job Wheel does spin. If I click again with in the 'dead' time, I get the Windows Not Responding (which finally clears when the wheel spins)

IMHO The UI needs to show immediate feedback (Hourglass, knock down/change the dialog...) that the click has been accepted... Then proceed to queue (can queuing be a 'job' so we have feedback that something is working, so there is NO dead UI zone)
