not sure how long it's supposed to take; any chance of a % bar? 5-10 minutes total.
The way it works is by going to the relevant section of someone's user page and hitting the 'next page' link until it runs out of results. You only figure out how many comments someone's made at the end, and so a % bar isn't that possible. (One could display the number of comments scraped so far.)

I combined the above suggestions. While it is scraping the data, it now also has a table showing the last scraped elements posted date, the number of items scraped and the scraped score. This is split into two rows one for comments and one for posts.

Going that route, I'd suggest 'date of oldest comment scraped so far' instead of/as well as the count.
