When the proportion of processing to benefit is that far out of whack it is useless.

Especially if you could use the space to display what the model is actually doing, like the thinking process or other current model states (prefill, decode, idly waiting for a slot...)

Wrong. If more processing power is used for displaying the spinner, then the actual task will take longer, thus the spinner will be displayed for a longer time, so the spinner becomes even more useful.

Why even produce anything? Just send an infinite spinner to show that things are always happening
