It would be nice if "SYNC" log messages displayed a sync progress percentage like the reference implementation does.

For context, the reference implentation's UpdateTip message looks like this:
2014-06-27 12:59:10 UpdateTip: new best=00000000000000002a03b175f183c3bbc440f5c2a171e958bfd504582f711f70 height=308004 log2_work=79.405055 tx=41447698 date=2014-06-27 00:04:17 progress=0.998105

Having a sync percentage makes it somewhat more clear how long a blockchain sync will take

If there is interest, I'd be happy to work on this

Sounds like a great feature addition! One route you can go to gauge the sync metric is either pinning the total cumulative work in a constant, or just using the timestamps as a heuristics (not as accurate due to leeway allowed w.r.t timestamps).
