rsync - Jun 2014 - Progress indication refreshes too often with --info=progress2

Hi there:

I am testing rsync with a large number of small files. I am using 'tee'
to keep the log, and I noticed that the log file was growing very quickly.

It seems that the progress text refreshes too often:


building file list ... 
?0 files...
?100 files...
?200 files...
?300 files...
?...
?5.53G? 95%??? 8.50MB/s??? 0:10:20 (xfr#478709, to-chk=9/537759) 
?5.53G? 95%??? 8.50MB/s??? 0:10:20 (xfr#478710, to-chk=8/537759)
?5.53G? 95%??? 8.50MB/s??? 0:10:20 (xfr#478711, to-chk=7/537759)
?5.53G? 95%??? 8.50MB/s??? 0:10:20 (xfr#478712, to-chk=6/537759)

That's one refresh per file! I believe the user console's speed may
limit rsync's performance in such scenarios.

I think the progress messages should refresh once every 500 ms at most.

Thanks,
