It would be nice to get a progress indicator when subdivision calculation takes more than a couple of seconds. When working with very large models, this would be handy, I have a 24k vertex model that was subdivided twice, and the preview took forever to build (I thought AC3D had locked up until I realized what it was doing).

I understand that this is an excessively large single model with high subdivision --- it was the product of an Object -> Merge that I had done to export it to another app, so the results weren't permanent. But still, when subdivisions get rebuilt, it would be nice to get an indicator so I know why there's a few second delay when loading very large models...
