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
It’s not a linear process but to make things “user friendly” interfaces are made with an assumption that things indeed are linear.
The code that shows you “% done” only knows about the tasks that need to be done, not how long each task will take. So if the early tasks are very simple tasks, but the latter tasks are very complex tasks, it will appear to slow down as you see a % done being calculated.
