Thanks it does indeed to seem to be AppNap. Well it might be a 
combination of  a couple of things Ive realized in my OSX Preferences I 
have Energy Saver/Display Sleep and Computer Sleep set to 15 minutes, so 
I guess that after 15 minutes the Display Sleep will make the screen go 
black even if progress bar updating because no user has touched 
keyboard/mouse but computer sleep doesnt kick in because its detect the 
application is active. But then once Display Sleep is blank that tells 
AppNap it can pause any application and it does.

Clicking on the Properties of the Application and preventing AppNap 
seems to ensure process continues processing even after screen gone black

Is my summary correct ?
