Well any site that uses fingerprinting tech, regardless of what it is, is just going to have it load silently in the background so I don't think it would be noticeable anyways.
That depends on what's making it take so long, among other things. But with sufficient effort I suppose the more sneaky fingerprinters (those which aren't aren't already blocked by other extensions) could probably be made difficult to notice for unprepared users. JShelter popping up a big warning about a "very high" level of fingerprinting activity is a pretty good hint though, and I take it as a suggestion to add some rules for ublock if I expect to visit that site again.
As it continues to get more common, maybe it's time to go back to using noscript as well.
