A comment on Ask HN: Why don't progress bars ever work properly?. Parent comment
But typically you see stuff like:
for ( i = 1; i < 10; ++i ){ DoSomethingUseful( i ); DeterminateProgress( i, 10 ); }
So each iteration of the loop, the bar advances by one-tenth its maximum length, without regard to what DoSomethingUseful actually does.
Chalk it up to lazy coders and tight-fisted bean counters.
