Unfortunately, it's quite erratic with our current I/O scheduler. With 2
seconds intervals, it may change for example between 70 MB/s and 7 MB/s
(same harddisk). Also, if the whole process lasts less than 10 seconds
anyway, I don't really see the point in knowing how fast it is. In any
case, it is possible to display it almost immediately by changing the
algorithm slightly. I'll play with that. It will certainly be at the
expense of raising false hopes in the beginning of a copy process... :-D
