No, it's rather REMOVING feedback during page loading.
The only thing that the user knows is: Something is loading or frozen due
to a buggy JavaScript (very common) or JavaScript disabled or a connection
problem (e.g. an element of the page for which the connection has been
closed by the server but the user agent didn't notice that).
With progressive rendering, you see exactly what's loading as it's
displayed.
I also noticed that some sites containing this awful hack, the loading of
the entire page becomes much slower (e.g. 14 or 15 seconds instead of 2 or
3) because all the tiny useless icons advertisements and 1x1 images (e.g.
to do some cr*ppy statistics) at the bottom of a site require much time to
be loaded.
If you hate progressive rendering, please, don't harm MY computer, simply
disable progressive rendering in YOUR browser.
e.g. with Opera go to Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Browsing->Loading and
check "Redraw when loaded".
As a general solution, write a little HTTP proxy application that disable
progressive rendering. But, please, use it for personal use.
