Well, there definitely *used* to be. We had bugs that no bars were
shown, whose root cause was that the bar operations in the first
fraction of a second were not shown, and then we got into network ops
which blocked for 10+seconds while ssh handshaking took place.
So, I think that network ops should *not* be hidden in short operations.
I think its fine for the local transport to hide notifications in short
operations, because they rarely block for long periods.
