I was thinking of just dropping back to once-per-second after a couple
of seconds, with something along the lines of this in place of the
existing sleep at the bottom of the loop:
if (i >= 2 * WAITS_PER_SEC)
{
pg_usleep(USEC_PER_SEC);
i += WAITS_PER_SEC - 1;
}
else
pg_usleep(USEC_PER_SEC / WAITS_PER_SEC);

Yeah, we could add the string values as macros in miscadmin.h, perhaps.
I don't like the single-character idea --- if we do expand the number of
things reported this way, that could get restrictive.
