I remember that issue as well.

My take was to identify a scan volume and only do an update on

progress so often depending on that volume.

Two params in were ScanLocation <row currently on> and ScanTotalCount

I would change the divisor as needed.

if scanLocation/divisor = int(scanLocation/divisor)

do thermBar(scanLocation, ScanTotalCount)

endif

Change to the divisor from 7, 21,39, 61, ... would speed up process

that I wanted to take place. The visual clue to the user was just

pretty icing on the cake.
