 ``tqdm`` implements a few tricks to to increase efficiency and reduce overhead.
 
-1. Avoid unnecessary frequent bar refreshing: ``mininterval`` defines how long
-   to wait between each refresh. ``tqdm`` always gets updated in the background,
-   but it will diplay only every ``mininterval``.
-2. Reduce number of calls to check system clock/time.
-3. ``mininterval`` is more intuitive to configure than ``miniters``.
-   A clever adjustment system ``dynamic_miniters`` will automatically adjust
-   ``miniters`` to the amount of iterations that fit into time ``mininterval``.
-   Essentially, ``tqdm`` will check if it's time to print without actually
-   checking time. This behavior can be still be bypassed by manually setting
-   ``miniters``.

 However, consider a case with a combination of fast and slow iterations.
 After a few fast iterations, ``dynamic_miniters`` will set ``miniters`` to a
 large number. When interation rate subsequently slows, ``miniters`` will
 remain large and thus reduce display update frequency. To address this:
 
-4. ``maxinterval`` defines the maximum time between display refreshes.

 The monitoring thread should not have a noticeable overhead, and guarantees
 updates at least every 10 seconds by default.
