 **Issue**: The current progress tracking mechanism updates and prints after every chunk generation, causing unnecessary I/O overhead.
 
 **Potential Solutions**:
+
 - Implement time-based or percentage-based thresholds for progress updates
 - Use an atomic counter for internal tracking with less frequent display updates
 - Add a configuration option to disable progress tracking for maximum performance

-### 2. Channel Configuration Optimization
-
-**Issue**: The synchronous channel with zero capacity (`std_mpsc::sync_channel(0)`) forces producers to block until consumers read each message.
-
-**Potential Solutions**:
-- Experiment with different channel capacities to find optimal throughput
-- Implement a more sophisticated producer-consumer pattern
-- Consider using crossbeam channels for potentially better performance
-
-**Implementation Approach**:
-```rust
-// In main.rs, replace the sync_channel with configurable capacity
-let channel_capacity = 4; // Experiment with different values
-let (chunk_tx, chunk_rx) = std_mpsc::sync_channel(channel_capacity);
-
-// For more advanced scenarios, consider crossbeam channels:
-// use crossbeam_channel as cb;
-// let (chunk_tx, chunk_rx) = cb::bounded(channel_capacity);
