It would be nice to have a progress bar or similar for the extjs runner to 
indicate loading ...

That would require changing the way it works. as with all the runners, it's really
not a runner at all, but a Result format. It happens after the tests are run. 

i'm not sure that changing the way the thing works is worth it just now. Definitely
we shouldn't go to a cfflush type thing (breaks status codes, etc). Going to using
ajax to run it is an option, but it's one i'm wary of simply because using ajax
obfuscates what's going on under the hood; you can't see your bigass list of
files/methods in the normal old CF line output, which I (and others i'm sure) really
like. and when errors happen, you're kind of dead in the water.

In this case, retaining ease-of-debugging and easy access to all information is
paramount. if we can figure out a way to get a "loading" thingie while at the same
time retaining the "real" stuff, then i'm all for it.
