Comment 2 for bug 533800

This is especially visible when using rpm-md, since the cache is so big there...
But the fix should probably be in the right place, i.e. with the original message ?
smart/control.py:202: iface.showStatus(_("Saving cache..."))
smart/control.py:254: iface.showStatus(_("Loading cache..."))

I made an implementation that shows a progressbar, but it was 10x slower (!).
So the best would be to add support for "infinite" progressbars, and use that:
