Oh, that looks promising.  I guess we can't run Lisp code from an
atimer?  But then again, we wouldn't need to -- with a thing like

(with-delayed-message 2 "Rendering HTML..."
  (do-the-hthml-rendering))

the message would be precomposed, so we'd just need to display it in the
echo area?

I guess with-delayed-message would have to be implemented in C, since
the atimers aren't exposed from Lisp, but it should be pretty trivial
anyway.
