Please make sure you are compiling your code in Release mode. It can make over a 10X performance difference.

The median image filter is not fast for large regions. You may want to look into the FastApproximageRankImageFilter [1, 2], or just the RankImageFilter.

You can look at how The ConnectedThresholdImageFitler reports progress in the code [3]. It does as good of a job as possible reporting progress. It will go smoothly for the number of pixels in the region, then just at the end for the number of pixels not visited.

You may want to look into teh GrayscaleDilateImageFilter to do you binary morphology [4].

HTH,
Brad
