Disable messages in status bar?

[John_C]

Is there a way to disable "1 item copied to clipboard", "2 items copied to clipboard", "1 item cut to clipboard", "All background jobs completed" in status bar? (Without hiding status bar itself).

It distracts me from real work.

+1.
They also have a great performance impact for some scripted operations that currently demand such notifications.
