Package: pv Version: 1.1.4-1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/pv It appears that pv always averages the transfer rate over the display interval. It'd be nice if that could be controlled seperately. Right now, if you have very bursty data (for example, lzcat receiving compressed data from the network, writing uncompressed to disk), you have to use a very long update interval, on the order of a minute, to get a reasonable rate estimate. It'd be nice to keep the 1s update interval, but take the average over a longer period.
It'd be awesome if pv recognized bursty data and adjusted the averaging itself, but that's way more than I expect. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (100, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pv depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries pv recommends no packages.
