Subject: [PATCH] feat(check-ip): print 'Loading X...' before each stage starts

Split the stage-timing lines into a pre-stage 'Loading X... ' (shown
before the work starts) and a post-stage '<duration> (<counts>)'. Makes
it obvious something is happening during the ~1s cold-start parse
instead of going silent and printing everything at the end.
