Statistics stop updating but maybe it's still working #42

At .09% the statistics just stopped updating. Looking at the perfmon, there's ton's of drive activity so it seems like it's still working.

@cblanzy Have you launched the plotter with admin rights? This will prevent 0-filling the output file while writing the first plot. Except that, this is perfectly normal for the plotter to take a bit of time writing to the output file in direct mode. If you have enough RAM you can plot to multiple physical drives at once with a single GPU.

It did start to progress beyond .09% after a couple of hours. I honestly can't recall if I ran it as admin or not. I have another plot to do so I'll make sure to run as admin this time. Now that I know it's doing stuff even when it doesn't look like it, I won't be so worried.

Thanks for the response!
