Request: Render startup info

We have so many slow scenes that gives us no indication on whats going on during startup of a render. Artists need to know if everything is working or whats slowing down startup.

Please provide information during startup:

-texture load -tdl make 1/1000 maps indicator (we have scenes taking up to 30min to tdl make) -texture cache -geometry read -volume read -all other timeconsuming stuff slowing down time to first pixel.

Looking at black idisplay for 30min without knowing whats going on isnt very artist friendly.
