- This option will print a "rotating bar" (/-\|) below the last log line
- to show work is not stalled.
+ If you say 'y' here, you'll be able to see the elapsed time.
- Available when not in DEBUG log level.

- WARNING! Very CPU intensive! If you have spare CPU, then you can use it,
- otherwise, refrain from using it.
+ As a bonus, you'll also get a rotating bar (/-\|) showing you
+ that the build is not stalled (the bar rotates 1/4 every 10 lines
+ of components build log).
+
+ Note that the elapsed time can stall for a little while if a
+ component has long commands, as the elapsed time is only updated
+ each line.
