Currently "Refresh" action (F5 in package explorer and navigator views) show a modal progress dialog untill refresh is complated. With a large workspace it usually takes long time and all user operations are blocked during refresh. Since "autorefresh" is not acceptable for a large workspace this issue is quite critical.
