This is one reason UIs have animations added, the kind that technical users like to complain about or remove. By making things feel more physically grounded they prevent users from getting lost and confused and give them more intuition about things.

In your case you could show more intermediate values, graph things, etc.

I often chuckle when (our) animations may have more complex math that consume more resources than the awaited logic/call that they gate.
