Yes, I know it is a complete waste of time haha. I didnt want to hijack the thread and just wanted to ask about it. If it were a larger file that took a while to process, then it would have a significant difference. I was just wondering if it was because the calculations for the percentage, or printing the actual progress bar, or a combination of both? But it was the size of the buffer that was slowing it down tremendously. Now it transitions alot quicker, especially with larger files. This was the first time i ever attempted using a progress bar as well. Im not a professional by far and never claim to be. Im just an enthusiast programmer and like tinkering. And thanks for the wisdom as well. I will keep that in mind next time i /must/ have a progress bar.

Cheers :)
