More prominent load indicator

[dandv]

I'm on a medium-speed connection (f*k you AT&T) and 15 seconds after typing in a few characters in Nipster, there's still no result other than "Processing". I *know it will eventually return something, but other users might not.

Maybe display a larger load indicator, or some numeric progress?

my personal favorite :)

The main problem is the superhuge json-file which takes a while to load, and as long as this solution is static only (and that is the core point, so that is how it will still be) I can't do much about the load speed (AFAIK).
But a spinner, like suggested above, should be possible to add.

Another option is to add a progress-bar for the file loading, and with XHR2 we can use Progress events to make a progressbar. Good idea?
