When you have a long-running script, you don't need to call sleep; you
can set the title and then run the script. When the script ends, the
title will be reset by PS1.

A more permanent solution could be this script:
http://www.twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph/preexec.bash.txt

It will change the terminal title to the running command without you
having to explicitly set it.
