Thanks. It could also be useful to have the final logfile to see where 
are the unrecoverable errors.

I calculated the mean error size dividing the total error size by the 
number of errors and I guessed there would be large non-trimmed areas. I 
see in the logfile that this is true (there are many multi-megabyte 
non-trimmed areas). I guess many of those large non-trimmed areas will 
be read fast with '--try-again'.

Yes, but just once as you guessed.
