To show how long it takes before showing each new line of output, use this neat command.

long_command | ts -i "%.s"


$ ./configure --prefix=/tools | ts -i %.s

0.002841 checking whether build environment is sane... yes
0.008164 checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /tools/bin/mkdir -p
0.000040 checking for gawk... gawk
