Not sure if I'm missing something, but I've noticed that after a bad read ddrescue never returns back to the full speed capability, however, if I cancel the process and restart it (obviously with a log) it immediately returns to full speed.
As an example, today I have a 2.5" drive that has bad sectors, initially it reads 45MB/sec, then drops to below 1MB/sec understandably, however beyond the bad sector, it only ever came back to ~12MB/sec even though the last bad read was several GB ago. Soon as I halted the ddrescue and restarted it jumped back to 35~40GB (obviously a slight slow down due to the natural speed variance across the drive). This behaviour has been seen on multiple versions of ddrescue and multiple different drives and systems.
