Thanks, but does it indeed make sense to print these progress message
with logarithmically-increasing intervals?  Why not simply decimate
the messages by printing them every N words or so?  N could be
computed at the beginning of the command as function of the size of
the region to be spell-checked, assuming some suitable value of
average length of a word.  WDYT?
