Why not?

I have implemented this with success in different contexts.

When I create a report that contains information about
10,000 customers, I show a progress bar that informs the
end user that "6,000 out of 10,000 customers" were already
processed.

This works on a psychological level too. When you raise
the time-out without giving any information about the
progress, people wonder if something went wrong (for
instance: did the server go down?), and they are tempted
to hit "refresh" or "reload".

If you inform them, time seems to go faster ;-)
