Takes it so long to generate the latex file? Then no processes are used,
so nothing could be stopped.

In a real-life scenario, the document (and included figure files) may
reside on a slow file server on a sometimes heavily congested network.

Reading from a file - or opening it - may take 5s with some bad luck.
So 12 file operations could take a minute. :-(

Users on such systems obviously expect a document compile to
be a slow operation. They still want a 'cancel' to be instantaneous.
