I looked over the latest version, and the only real problem I see here is
your second point, which is the calling with -P not specified. I doubt it's
going to be much, but in theory I guess the call to time(NULL) many times
could have an effect. I've fixed that by just moving it to after a check
for showprogress.

As for the first one - I believe that's the point. progress_report should
be called with force==true after it was called with it false, that's the
intended design.

I've applied the patch, with that minor adjustment and an added comment.
