Another approach would be to determine the total rows to process before beginning the loop, dividing it by, say, 20, to find the nearest integer to 5% of the total, and putting up the pause only when each 5% boundary is crossed by your row counter. You could even make it graphical, with 20 hyphens gradually filling the PAUSE box.
