Instead just print something like "Computing foo value ..." and let finish
the thread, letting user reading and moving cursor in docstring while it
finishes, once done save-excursion and send message "Computing foo value
done".

I think like Drew that this would be annoying.
That said, what's the reason of choosing the slower approach to compute
value (in a thread or not) instead of using the approach described in
the advice I sent here which takes 1s to compute load-history instead of
3mn ? (I use this advice since one year now without any problems).
