Additional info -
My dictionary confirms what I wrote above:
I'd say "going" is neutral and means development, unfolding... in "good going" the qualifier is "good" that has its normal meaning.
Again, "good going" doesn"t have anything pejorative, negative, sarcastic or else.
My dictionary confirms what I wrote above:
As you can see there are several expressions: bad going, good going, slow going, heavy going, etc.(progress) that's not bad going!, that's good going! c'est rapide!; it was slow going, the going was slow (on journey) ça a été long; (at work) ça n'avançait pas vite; the conversation was heavy going la conversation était laborieuse; this book is heavy going ce livre est difficile à lire or est d'une lecture laborieuse;
I'd say "going" is neutral and means development, unfolding... in "good going" the qualifier is "good" that has its normal meaning.
Again, "good going" doesn"t have anything pejorative, negative, sarcastic or else.

Thanks Gérard for all those tips to be more polite and to remind us that in English, in French or in any other language, it is important not to make the person you're talking to stressed, ill at ease or uncomfortable.

Intensifiers in English
Intensifiers - words which are used to add force to the meaning of verbs, adjectives or other adverbs are called intensifiers. Intensifiers provide greater depth of meaning for the words they describe.
Words that we commonly use as intensifiers include absolutely, completely, extremely, highly, rather, really, so, too, totally, utterly, very and at all.
...
Example
I could say:
“The glass is full.”
Or I could be much more specific and say:
“The glass is very full.”
“The glass is so full. (Why did you pour so much water?!)”
“The glass is really full. (Be careful carrying it.)”
“The glass is pretty full. (But there’s room for more.)”
enormous, huge = very big
tiny = very small
brilliant = very clever
awful; terrible; disgusting; dreadful = very bad
certain = very sure
excellent; perfect; ideal; wonderful; splendid = very good
delicious = very tasty

Gérard thanks for that revision. I know that some verbs are regular in American English and irregular in British English but I can't remember them all
