Yeah, that's my point. 99% of the time, the lines just let me know
nothing's hung, and everything's progressing, whether well or badly,
it's at least progressing. When things *don't* go right, I can look at
the last few lines before the freeze or delay, and try to figure out
what it's doing when it hung or delayed, and try to fix or temporarily
disable that while trying to find the root cause.
