[Reportbug-maint] Bug#649777: reportbug: high cpu load when displaying progress bar (like sending mail or retriving bugs)

[Witold Baryluk]

Package: reportbug

Version: 6.3
Severity: normal

Reportbug eats about 30% of cpu doing essentially nothing.
I guess code which does progress bar updating is called
too often and overhead is just so big. Reportbug can be in such
state for few minutes, if for example smtp connection
is very slow.
