Description

Currently there isn't a way to do a action involving a lot of objects in a memory efficient manner. For example publishing 10k pages requires a lot of memory and can take a long time. Currently there isn't indication this could take a long time, how long it might take, or the operation doesn't use subtransactions so as to minimise memory use.
btw, this is also the case without "structure" by just publishing a folder with a lot of sub items.

Research direction

The issue does not name specific files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the structure bulk-action and folder-publishing flows, then determine how long-running operations and transaction boundaries are represented. Done should include a memory-efficient approach for large operations and clear feedback about progress or expected duration.
