Run your heavy process with NSThread.

Snippet from here:

- (IBAction) startThreadButtonPressed:(UIButton *)sender {

    [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(startTheBackgroundJob) toTarget:self withObject:nil];

}

- (void)startTheBackgroundJob {

    NSAutoreleasePool *pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    // wait for 3 seconds before starting the thread, you don't have to do that. This is just an example how to stop the NSThread for some time
    [NSThread sleepForTimeInterval:3];
    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(makeMyProgressBarMoving) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
    [pool release];

}

- (void)makeMyProgressBarMoving {

    float actual = [threadProgressView progress];
    if (actual < 1) {
        threadProgressView.progress = actual + 0.01;
        [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self selector:@selector(makeMyProgressBarMoving) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
    }

}
