You can search / grep for "tailsave" in the db_*.log for the Appian Engine, to figure out how long it took to checkpoint. For eg: 2016-03-07 20:36:57 [PA00001] {pa53.kdb 528226} () WARN .a.pf.te "" "32996.85" ".a.db.tailsave" This log shows that the Process Analytics 0000 Engine took 32996 milliseconds to checkpoint.

Yes, it issues a check-point command to all engines at the same time. You can choose to check-point engines individually too. forum.appian.com/.../Configuring_Application_Checkpointing.html (Checkpointing a Specific Engine)
