Yes, that wouldn't be supported - although certainly in my case what was making it slow *were* the messages. I'd be fine with displaying every second, but I don't see a good way of doing this - do you have any suggestions?

As far as I understand these `message' were added to see the progress
of a long lasting recalculation which would not be supported any more
with your patch. But I agree that it would be sufficient to report the
current field/line only every let's say one second and suppress the
others to gain speed for use cases like yours.
