I actually think 3 is a good idea, too. Except you may want to put it in the pane's \
title bar. I also like 2, but I would augment it such that the LED starts out bright \
and then dims. It's timed so that the LED is all the way dim the render starts. It \
has the same effect as a spinning thing or progress bar, but would probably be less \
distracting.
A nice feature might also be that when you click the whatever-it-is, the render \
starts immediately. A tooltip that could be active even when the whatever-it-is is \
not doing anything could be helpful in explaining what it is for.

Oo oo I like 3. Even better the Mac-startup-progress-wheel thingy.

1. Different colors on the border surrounding the pane (but this competes with the \
red/blue indicating which pane is "Active") 2. An LED-like glyph in the pane's title \
bar? 3. A small overlay in one corner of the pane? (Ken's favorite: a pie chart \
showing either time remaining before a still render or time spent waiting for a still \
render to finish. :-)

One thing I noticed though is that there is no indication of an intentional
pause. Is there a subtle way to let the user know when the interface is
pausing and when it is busy rendering? Or is it fine the way it is?
