I believe this is already reported in an existing ticket:
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2136
I've spoken with Reinier Heeres in the past about it, the plan he had in mind back then was to move calculations into a different thread so the UI didn't lock-up during very compute expensive calculations (e.g. a spinner visual could indicate calculate was still working on the calculation, and a widget could be provided to allow cancelling).
