 It would be nice if the progress bar could calculate the estimated time
 remaining. There would have to be some kind of assumption about the
 uniformity of the remaining computations, but often I have a simple loop
 for(i = 0; i < 1e6; i++)

 where I am doing the same thing in each iteration, so if I am 50% complete
 after 10 minutes, I expect to be done in about another 10 minutes.

 Of course this is not the case with all loops, but if the thing being
 timed is known not to exhibit that behavior, then this shouldn't be used.
