Lots of stuff in the UI happens while you are reading/thinking etc. So
this stuff is "doing something" but it should not prevent you from
also 'doing something'.

As I said, its not true. The CPU is always going at the same speed,
whether idle or marking exe lines. (well new CPU slow them selves down
for energy saving). So there is no faster here. It's only about
whether the UI block you or not. There should be nothing preventing
you from using the UI. But may be it does: we want to fix it.
BTW how many lines do you show from the page? I think that may be a
difference.
As we add more decorations we don't want more blocking, more options
to turn off decorations etc. Rather we want to figure out how to make
the decorations not block the UI.
Is that clearer?
