I have a feeling this may become a non-issue after Lars' asynchronous DNS
support goes live, but for 25.1, I find that hitting SPACE to read an HTML
e-mail with many images, Emacs pauses for up to ~10 seconds doing...
something. It would help me to know work is being done, by some kind of
prompting in the message area, the way that Firefox does when loading a slow
page.
Bonus points for only prompting after a second or more, to avoid excessive
logging to *Messages*, but that's not terribly important.

Yeah, that's the problem the async code makes go away...

Hm... didn't we add a mechanism to display messages on a timeout the
other year? Or did we just talk about it? I wanted something like
(with-timeout-message 2 "We're doing whatevs"
(whatevs))
If the body form completes within 2 seconds, then nothing is displayed,
otherwise the message is displayed until the body form completes.
I can't find it now, so we probably just talked about it?

Are you talking about delayed-warnings-list, delayed-warnings-hook,
and display-delayed-warnings?

You can control the timeout and cancel the warnings automatically with
the delayed-warnings stuff?

I don't know, I just mentioned the only feature that sounds like what
you wanted. It's supposed to be fully documented.

It kinda seems like it's doing the opposite of what I wanted. :-)
-------
Sometimes, you may wish to avoid showing a warning while a command is
running, and only show it only after the end of the command. You can
use the variable @code{delayed-warnings-list} for this.
@defvar delayed-warnings-list
The value of this variable is a list of warnings to be displayed after
the current command has finished. Each element must be a list
@smallexample
(@var{type} @var{message} [@var{level} [@var{buffer-name}]])
@end smallexample
@noindent
with the same form, and the same meanings, as the argument list of
@code{display-warning} (@pxref{Warning Basics}). Immediately after
running @code{post-command-hook} (@pxref{Command Overview}), the Emacs
command loop displays all the warnings specified by this variable,
then resets it to @code{nil}.
@end defvar
