In the context of a very large input document with repeating
structure... or say generating thousands of output files.  Or as in
what I doing this morning processing a massive sequence of strings.

In most transforms you can construct a number that reflects the
position within the processing... The idea is to use that number along
with the known total and rough time per item to estimate a finish
time.
