Description Till Brychcy

Extracted from bug 560139 comment 7.

Some code minings take a long time to calculate. It may make sense to cancel there computation, if the user has scrolled and they would not be visible anymore anyway.

Alternative:
I'm not sure if there is currently a single or limited number of threads used to calculate code minings. If yes, there must be some queue for the minings to be calculated. If cancelling is difficult, it might make sense to recheck if they still would be visible when taking them from the queue instead.

Otherwise, if the number of threads is currently NOT limited, it probably should be.

Still relevant.
