I'd be interested, in a hopefully simple 'feature', of being able to disable the progress bar entirely through the config screens. It's been a while since I did some tests, but disabling it certainly seemed to speed things up a fair bit for me and IIRC several other people confirmed. See the thread at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.automated/6664/focus=6677 which has some interesting discussion on the subject including a suggestion by a certain Mr Huntwork that mirrors my own!
