Have the logic generate a pulse at the beginning (or end) of each

Not as simple as that - you'd just have an analogue frequency meter
showing the instruction rate.
If you wanted it to show how busy the machine is, something in the idle
loop toggle the bit that drives the integrator. Set the bit high when
you come out of the idle loop, set it low when you go in...

The old
GE machines with the "Thousands of Operations Per Second"
analogue meters were kind of neat too.
So just how does one construct such a
meter?
