 tail -f file | pv -l -i10 -r > /dev/null
 tail -f file | perl -e 'while (<>) {$l++;if (time > $e) {$e=time;print "$l\n";$l=0}}'
 tail -f file | perl -ne 'print time(), "\n";' | uniq -c
 tail -f file | python -c 'exec("import sys,time\nl=0\ne=int(time.time())\nfor line in sys.stdin:\n\tt = int(time.time())\n\tl += 1\n\tif t > e:\n\t\te = t\n\t\tprint l\n\t\tl = 0")'
