That wasn't the issue, it was buggy and was leaving markup behind in the
notebook after cleaning itself up.  This led to things like output cells
increasing in size with each progress bar used and ballooning JavaScript
and HTML markup embedded in the notebook JSON document.

It's also tricky because the maintainer of the progress bar we use isn't
terribly responsive and wasn't interested in integrating a notebook-aware
version last time I checked.

That said, there is a progress bar widget in IPython 2.0 that might be
useful.

I also haven't looked into this in a year or so, it's possible the bugs
that forced us to drop the notebook-aware progress bar have been fixed.
