If my test runs are indicative of the average timings, then you might
as well junk all the stages apart from the last, since they only take
up a few seconds of the preprocessing time.  Of course, that then
leaves the issue with the last stage stalling at 81%: it's not much
use as a progress indicator if 82 - 100% only takes a few seconds.

I suppose the easiest way is to introduce a program option which can
be set via -d (with a sensible default set in lily.scm).
