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
Progress bars are totally arbitrary and up to whoever is writing the installer. Someone might do it based on % of files transferred, or % of total size transferred, something in between, or something completely unrelated.
That said, you (and I) probably notice the ones that are the least representative of actual behavior and forget about the ones that work as you’d expect, because brains are weird.
