I was re-encoding some flac files to get a better
compression ratio, and the program output would only
update the compression stats at every 5 percent change.

normally it updates the text output a few times every
change per 1 percent completion.

This is not a major problem, since it still is functional.

Also, If I simply use "--best" as an option, then the
display updates like normal. However, keep in mind that
"--best" is not quite the same as the settings I used.

-------------------------------------

This is for Flac v 1.1.3-beta2.

Here's the exact command I used and the output.

-------------------------------------

]$ nice -n 10 ~/bin/flac-1.1.3-beta2/src/flac/flac
--no-delete-input-file --no-ogg --replay-gain
--no-seektable --verify --lax --mid-side
--exhaustive-model-search --qlp-coeff-precision-search
--blocksize="8192" --max-lpc-order="32"
--rice-partition-order="0,16" --output-prefix="new2/"
./*.flac
NOTE: --replay-gain may leave a small PADDING block
even with --no-padding

    the update is based rate is based on the number of frames
    processed. so for a small file it will happen at a larger
    percentage.

    with -l 32 -e -p it should feel slow! but I doubled the
    rate when using -e and -p together.
