how to check pre-render time consume stamp?

[asin_asinn]

Hi, can we check the pre-render time? like time that consume when compiling geometry,generating hair..etc2..

Hmm, good question. There's no way to estimate this in advance.
However, you can do a "test" without rendering (for all phases up until the actual rendering starts). This way you'll know exactly how much time will go into these phases.
You can go to the Render Settings > Overrides > Rendering > Don't Render Final Image and start a render.

Does this help?

Hi we currently stopwatch manually, it will be good idea to have preloading time, we have to budget our worktime , in our case we have hair, some proxy, a few chars, while the rendering is fast, but the preloading time is takes time 7min+, also canceling render cause freeze 3/4min. just an input here, thanks
