Problem Description
The iterations field is not trustworthy in ESQL's profile output. If the driver doesn't have to yield we report the status every second. And we report iter new iterations. And then the next second we report another iter + n iterations where n is however many iterations we made in a second. So the reported iterations is accurate for short queries, but for those longer than a second it's a vast, vast, vast overestimate.
Steps to Reproduce
Use tasks API with ESQL.
