Description

It would be nice if the progress update interval was adjustable (in `tilelive-copy`). Progress output is really nice ... but the hard coded default of 100 ms is pretty verbose on a long copy. I'd be happy with something in the range of 5-15 minutes for some operations (a 9000:1 decrease in log size).

Research direction

Start at lib/tilelive.js around line 328 and trace how tilelive-copy emits progress updates. Identify how the hard-coded 100 ms interval is applied and choose the existing configuration or command path that should expose it. Done means tilelive-copy can use a much longer interval, such as 5–15 minutes, without losing progress reporting.
