Your best bet would probably be to use the IDl Workbench and actively press the stop button to see where you get stopped at. Alternatively, and something I use a lot, is placing print statements throughout your code. This really helps me know what processing is going on and gives me an idea of how much processing time I have left.

If you want to track time, then there are a couple of ways you can do this. You can use tic and toc like this, which actually returns the time that has passed in a variable so you can include a control statement in a loop to exit after a certain amount of time:

tic
wait, 2
time = toc()
print, time

Alternatively, you can use systime like this to get the time that has passed in seconds:

t_start = systime(/seconds)
wait, 2
time = systime(/seconds)
print, time - t_start
