I've always used progress indicators, nothing fancy though. I just
place a PRINT line within the main loop that would print out some
counters. For larger codes you can use the WRITE command to produce
useful information on the progress of your program.

In short, if you write a code that will take more than few seconds to
conclude then let the code report its progress using simple print and
write commands; this will save you a lot of time in the debugging process.
