Hi Jiri,

Thanks for your patches. I have tested with your repo. Now I can see 2 
progress bars. One is displayed at the events processing phase, the 
other is displayed at resorting phase.

I have only one concern that is, in my test, much of time is consumed by 
the event processing phase, for example, 90% of time. Only 10% of time 
is consumed at resorting phase.

So do we really need the second progress bar?

Thanks
Jin Yao
