Yes, with smaller scenes, additional information are displayed:
  0:00:01 Parsing 42K tokens
  0:00:01 Creating bounding slabs
  0:00:01 Creating vista buffer
  0:00:01 Creating light buffers 178K tokens
+ Scene stats with the number of finite&infinite objects, lights...
+ Ray shape intersection (tests,succeeded, %)
+ Shadows
+....


What's strange is that when a process is killed, there is a message from the
system to warn the user. Here, it simply continue without doing the work.

Youp.
