Yes, it only shows up when something happens that's potentially slow.
I have now figured out why nothing was happening on save. There is yet
another callback that I needed to hook up. But in my testing this one only
ever reports 0% and 100% back - not very useful. I'll need to simulate a
super slow connection and a very large file to see if this is an issue.
