Now, bit more serious - implementing the progress bar just on the item count alone is not a problem. The estimated time however is hard because you don't know the future. And if you want to agressivly estaimate you end up with Microsoft accuracy - 5 minutes, half a century, a week, 30 seconds.
We have the specific problem that we don't even know the total items at the start. How far through decompilation through a binary are we? You can estimate based on bytes but that's not great. You can't estimate functions because when you start you don't even know how many functions there are!
