I am not sure why, but I see the progress dialog opened for an equal amount
of time every time in my case. Testing on windows 10.

The path Seth proposed seem to work sort of. But it does not show the
loading dialog on init and I get an error dialog shortly after I open
eeschema that it fails to load a dcm file. This error does not occur
without Seths patch.

But on subsequent additions of a symbol the dialog is not shown and with no
delay as expected.
