I think we have a consensus on IRC.

On switching to the automatic partitioning page, we will disable the progress dialog and just use a spinning mouse cursor. This is not particularly slower than other page transitions now, so it doesn't make sense to treat it specially.

On switching to the advanced partitioning page, we can expect a longer delay; I have a test case which is complicated but not actually completely unreasonable, and takes on the order of 15 seconds. For this, we'll display the page furniture ASAP, and while we're trying to fill in the contents by scanning partitions, we will display a spinner and progress message to the bottom right of the partition list box, as we do currently when recalculating partitions after manual partitioner operations.
