Please do not use textspeak in your questions, it makes them unecessarily hard to read.
What do you mean the UI does not give the response properly, is it failing to show someting, is it partial data or is it just slow. Can you also post some code (use code tags!) so we can see what is likely to be wrong.

It sounds like you're running everything in the main thread. I'd recommend using either System.Threading or BackgroundWorker to run the Timer:

This is correct; if OP does not do threads it's hard to achieve anything good; there is a lot more to it though. My 5.
