Hi, Thanks for all the input. The problem solved when I did this: [progressIndicator setUsesThreadedAnimation:YES]; in the awakeFromNib method. With out this the progress bar doesn't animate no matter if the sheet is in the main thread or secondary or no heavy computations.
I can't have any rough estimates on how much memory i'd need to malloc, some times it can be less than 1 MB and grow to 1GB. Also the tree is incremental, so can not predict its final size.
