Stress in the phrase: "So far so good."

Hello. When the phrase: "So far so good." is pronounced, usually what words get stressed? are "far" and "good" the stressed ones?

I know that stress can be shifted for special emphasis, but I'm talking about situation like this one:

Person A: How does the installation of the software going?
Person B: So far so good.

I give roughly equal stress to all four words.
