As the progress indicator doesn't know anything about your process, you'll
have to calculate the percentage for yourself. Shouldn't be too hard...

Depends on how often you call it. Each time the module is called, the new
information has to be sent back to the frontend - so you can effectively kill
performance if you're updating, say, 1,000,000 records and call the module for
every single record.
BTW, if you process takes 9 minutes, you really should use batch processing.
