Well... my concern is (if I'm right) that this status is generated 
remotely and sent over the network when performing a fetch.  The "every 
percent" might in this case generate quite some significant overhead if 
the pack is small.

Also (personal opinion) such progress numbers are harder to read when 
they change too fast.
