Are you sure?
Only lengthy processes that run inside the event queue block all the 
windows events.
So any threading solution will not have an effect there.

Besides; the proper way is to show a progress bar in _all_ views and 
change the mouse pointer to a stopwatch in _all_ views.  If you choose to 
do it in the background, then again the same UI locking should be done 
for all views of the same document.
