While I appreciate the need to display feedback to the user that an action is happening, I'm not sure that a flashing bright green text block is the best way to provide the feedback in this case.  A bouncing progress bar or similar might work better - the type where the block goes back and forth, rather than 0 -> 100%.  Alternately, an animate image, such as a pair of interlocked cog wheels might work.

Just anything but blink?  Please? :)
