I had a crazy idea for PV.

How about, if the total size isn't known, turn the progress bar into a speed-gauge instead? Like "iftop" PV could just keep checking the fasted speed pv has seen, and have the bar as a percentage of the maximum.

e.g.: https://gigaom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/1/2008/07/iftop-itunes-annotated.png

That seems infinitely more useful than the current simple back-and-forth infinite slider.

Thanks
