Description
When building an exceptionally large context, there is no way to report progress. I'd opt to add an option to the util's make context method of progress=False, so that people can manually call the function and set progress=True if they desire it.
To see the problem in action, use this repo (note the docker branch) and run toolset/run-tests.py --install server --docker --test '' (you will need python 2.7 and the requirements listed here. Building teh context can sometimes take up to 15 minutes (note: this is on an NFS filesystem which is notoriously slow when tarring a lot of small files) and normally takes about 5 minutes (on my local SSD)

Research direction
Start by tracing the util's make context method from the docker-py codebase and reproduce the slow build with the referenced toolset/run-tests.py command. Add the requested opt-in progress behavior and verify that callers can choose whether progress is reported while building the context.
