zstd benchmark mode: better progress indicator #4850

Open

Description

@xmo-odoo

Currently on large corpuses (-r with large of many files) zstd's benchmark mode (-b) can reasonably look like it got stuck:

  • first it ingests the corpus, printing the name of each file
  • then nothing happens (it kinda looks stuck on the last direntry) until the first compression level completes
  • same for second
  • ...

Would be nice if the command-line harness provided some signs of life and some progress e.g. [N/K] [ xy%] where K is the number of levels in the benchmark (in -b/-e mode), N is the currenth, and xy% is the progress for the current. -S exists but it's a bit too detailed.
