Okay, so we just "move" the problem. To better understand the issue...

      * The patch just changes the progress bar behavior, but the time

Yes, both times.

ALTERNATIVE

If (and only for that reason) the save/load process gets stuck for
(e.g.) min. 5 seconds, and there is no way of availability-checking of
the network connection in advance, then we might simply bring up a
message box that says something like "File XYZ is being saved which
requires some time. Please wait ..." (not final, of course).

Possible, though prolly not for 3.3 (string/UI freeze).
Additionally, we may not know in advance, how long these operations
may take (it's not always transparently retrievable information, if
e.g. a file resides on a network volume).

Given your answer, I'd tend to not touch this for 3.3, and maybe
work on a better solution post-3.3.

Cancel is optional

Even impossible, with the current code. ;)

Thanks for your insight anyway,
