This is completely random, low-priority suggestion, please feel free to ignore in case we have other plans in place. I realised when running benchcab run, there can be a little while where not much appears in the terminal. For people who are newer to using the command line, it can be quite easy to assume that the terminal is just frozen.
Terminal output I saw as follows:
[ab1234@gadi-login-05 bench_example]$ benchcab run
2026-09-01 16:28:03,214 - INFO - benchcab.benchcab.py:288 - Checking out repositories...

Running benchmarks... [███████░░░] 70%
Why
A simple progress indicator by default could be a bit easier on the new users without adding too much noise in the terminal.
