The reason why I say that progress bar is too slow is that my script does not 
suffer from performance decrease unless you make it redraw on each line. I will 
add size recalculation for my script too (I removed it from your script because 
I did not realize that while user can do nothing in vim he still can resize the 
terminal), but I do not think that this will add any performance penalty.

That is because len(str) measures byte length of C string, while len(split) 
first 
splits the string into a list of characters and then measures the length of 
character list. If there are non-latin1 Unicode symbols and encoding is a 
multibyte one then length of character list is not equal to bytes count of C 
string.
