[PATCH] ubiformat: Lower message printing frequency

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

During scanning and formatting printing the messages on a serial line
has significant overhead up to the point where it takes longer to print
the messages than it takes to do the work. Lower the message printing
frequency to improve performance.
