You may want to investigate those huge % values in your output.  If all
of them were <=100 then it would easily fit into 80 characters.  

If it really bothers you - if you're watching the movie rather than
debugging, and the scrolling terminal will be a distraction (as well as
a possible drain on X's CPUtime) - then just redirect all the output to
/dev/null .
