I'd say that when you enter Chapter 5, you're roughly 75% of the way through the game, the Main Plot part of it, at least.
Important fact: The Grand List of RPG cliches (you can Google this term if you don't believe me) lists among its many gems Apocalypse Any Time Now, which says, in roughtly so many words, "The best time to do sidequests is when the gigantic meteor is hovering in the sky and just about to slam into the Earth." Translated, this means: If the person doesn't give you a specific time limit in which you have to get something done, then there is no time limit.
