No, not like that -- the other way around.  The postponed message I
envision will only be shown if not preempted a quarter second after it
was suggested.

(postponed-message "This takes a long time"
  (do-something))

will be shown if `(do-something)' takes a long while.

The length of time between messages isn't the concern, although it has 
an effect on that as well.
