I'm truncating a table with around 14,000 extents
on a 7.3.4 database on a slow machine.
(Please don't ask how this happened, it's too=20
painful to re-live.)

Is there anyway to determine how far the truncate
has gotten at any given point?  I thought I might see
changes in sys.fet$ or sys.uet$ as extents are de-allocated,
but I'm not seeing that.
