Update progress bar/info every X seconds

Description: 
The client uses more CPU that it should because it updates the progress bar and download info in real time. It would be nice to limit it to at most 1 per second or a customisable value. Thanks!

You raise a very good point. The process of updating the progress bar is relatively intensive for something that may be happening hundreds of times a second, if there are a lot of uploads and/or downloads in progress. If I were to try different possible improvements, would you be able to try them out and see if they make a difference?

I took your advice and limited the length of time each download and upload updates their progress. It's currently set to half a second, but I might add a setting later. Let me know if you notice a difference:
