I think the proof tree is basically useless. Except as a sort of progress bar so you can tell when the proof attempt is going south.
I'm thinking it should have a proved / total fraction displayed somewhere prominently alongside a progress bar. It's kind of crappy because the "progress" bar will probably go backwards sometimes, which isn't really what those are supposed to do.
Well, maybe not, actually; if the progress bar is subdivided into equal segments representing the top level nodes of the proof tree and then further subdivided lower down, like a one dimensional tree map, that could work. I don't know if it would be more or less useful than a progress bar that goes backwards sometimes.
