Instead of hijacking the entire screen, or creating new sections or areas on the screen and causing movement, this does a modal dialog type effect... just without the dialog part.
You can see some examples here and here. This is certainly a nicer and softer way of displaying progress as no extra space is used up with the effect. Better still, this has a Ruby on Rails helper already made!
