I think it's an excellent idea, which even goes in the direction of
reducing the on-wire bytes. And given todays connections speeds, if we
use it only for progress bars it could even represent megabytes rounded
to the nearest. Less than 0.5 will usually not take more than a few
seconds and not deserve showing an accurate progress bar.
