I think its impressive enough, in particular knowing the scarceness of
our API docs and the steep learning curve to understand how the
plugins work and finding how to write one.

Sounds like that task is currently triggered from a UI element, i.e. a
button or so and then directly executed inside the function. Instead
you could run the "fetch the list of files" in a separate thread,
either by utilizing the ThreadWeaver API or QtConcurrent. If possible
it would be good to have all the code that is executed to fetch files,
run them through krazy and generate the analysis data inside of a KJob
subclass and make it cancellable as far as possible so such long runs
can be aborted if done by mistake. Thats just guesswork on my part, so
if thats already whats happening just ignore me :)
