why is it when a screens loading does the loading bar stop and start at certain times? I.e. a lot of times it will take a second at the beginning and then load the rest really fast.

Because that bar isnt actually a representation of how far along the process is, it is more an indication of what point you are in the process.

Specifically to installers/loadscreens: Progress bars are better now than they were, but essentially there are markers that tell the progress bar where to be at a certain stage of the install.

Downloads are pretty easy as there is a measurable start and finish with a semi-static transfer rate.
