Waterpixels freezes the UI, needs progress

Description
When I apply the Artistic -> Watepixels filter to a 16 megapixel photograph (JPG), the user interface becomes non-responsive. The progress circle is also not shown.
There is nothing wrong with the filter output, it works perfectly and makes full use of the 8 threads of my processor. But still, even though it uses 8 threads, it is still very slow and takes up to 2 min to complete, which is too long to have the UI frozen without the progress circle.
I am using Antergos GNU/Linux 64 bit on a i7 4 cores, 8 threads.
