Description

gather tends to hang for large systems - adding a loading bar or, preferably, speeding it up would be nice.

Research direction

The issue names gather as the entry point but no files or tests. Locate its implementation and reproduce the hang with a large system, then inspect where time is spent. Done would require a clearly faster gather operation or a loading bar, but the issue does not define a performance target or preferred outcome.
