/// By accumulating updates longer, a smaller total volume of messages
/// are sent.
///
/// The `ProgressMode::Demand` variant is the most robust, and least
/// likely to lead to catastrophic performance. The `Eager` variant
/// is useful for getting the smallest latencies on systems with few
/// workers, but does risk saturating the system with progress messages
/// and should be used with care, or not at all.
///
/// If you are not certain which option to use, prefer `Demand`, and
/// perhaps monitor the progress messages through timely's logging
/// infrastructure to see if their volume is surprisingly high.
