So the percentage is muted but not the ETA, I've never seen that. Perhaps specific to batch-mode? I'll have a look - btw I also had the idea to change Incremental's get_progress() to use status.cands instead of the naive Jumbo-specific "try" counter. This should theoretically increase performance although I recall I did not see the expected slight drop when I implemented it. Actually if status.cands is usable you don't really have any reason not to implement it in core too.
