So, similar to @LeviJ 's answer, for a situation when it takes longer than a blink of an eye the ellipsis is useful to indicate that something is actually hapenning. If the background task is too short, it's a distraction. What about a situation when I echo Installing... and after that there's a log shown in the console right after that (no waiting before the echo, might be a small pause after echo until the installer initializes)?
