Feature Request: Display timer for current operation

Hi,

I often want to know how long the current query has taken before it finishes (usually so I can either get some idea of how much longer I should wait, or so I know I should kill it).
I know the time is displayed in the stats comment after the query has run, but I don't think there is any display for the time of the query whilst it is running.
Could this be added to the status bar?

Thanks

Jim

Is that really essential for you? At least to have the time while the query runs - it's already displayed when it's finished. Hm, don't know if that's worth the effort.

Having something would be really useful (I run a lot of slow queries).
Maybe a simpler solution is to display the time that the current query/batch started as part of the "Executing query" message in the status bar.
That should be much simpler to code than a timer and is accurate enough for my purposes.
