Why do software installation or updates always go very fast up to 90% complete, then the last 5-10% takes so much longer?
In: Technology
The core of the answer has been given above:
– inability to calculate how long it will really take on your Core 2 Duo
– best-guess implantation based on the creator’s own platform
But I’d also like to add that 99% of the time, the final part of the setup requires cleaning up files and verification of a complete install. That requires a bunch of io, opening/closing file handles, deleting numerous small files, etc.
