Left Blender loading while writing up this bug report and when I went back to the program the hourglass was gone. So I guess the issue is some long -running function that makes it appear as though there is an issue and it will eventually exit? It was doing the animation for a solid 5 minutes.,

Can you use a sampling profiler or otherwise to see what is taking time ?
