I noticed that after exporting with normalise enabled the dialog took a
while to close after the progress bar reached the end. Whereas when I
exported without normalise enabled the dialog closed immediately.
Cheers.

zero point of a wave as a means to transform other forms of potential
energy like magnetic flux, heat, or particle spin into usable energy in
such a way that entropy appears to be reversed."
Which seems to confirm that the normalisation is
not applied to
the mixed signal (which would require two passes or a lot of
storage)

Nope, Ardour3 offers the option of normalization in the export menu ,
there is a mask where u edit "formats", and there it is(top left)
And indeed, if you have a machine fast enough, you may also right-click
a region and "normalize" it while playing, i dont know how its done
actually, but as ardour has the peaks, it may just search for the
highest value and internally gain the difference.
It's still not clear what exactly is happening if you export
'the mix' i.e. the output of the master strip, including all
plugin processing, automation, etc. This signal normally is
not recorded, there are no peak files for it. The only way to
find the peak value in that case is to perform the entire
process. And only then this output can be normalised, either
by using a stored copy of the output or by doing everything
again.
