part of the problem is we're not multi-threaded (yet). the importer
just hogs the process until it's done...
the other part of the problem is that we're doing a lot of expensive
stuff (some necessary and probably some that could be streamlined)
(in both the piece table and formatter) as the document is imported.
we were optimizing for the interactive case and figured that we
would push import, export, print, etc into background threads later....

this is high on my/our pet-peeve list for fixing, too.
