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
Basically, the computer has no idea how long it’s going to take. It knows there is X number of steps and how far a long It is for each individual step and its going to try and predict how long it’s going to take based on the information it been given by the dev inatally.
There might also be a psychological explanation as well but I’m not sure
