im less annoyed by the bar not being smooth, i even prefer the staggers as it shows me that things are actualy being done and its reading that things are being done other then something artificial meant to keep my patience. im more anonoyed by it getting to the end and then setting at 99% for longer then it took to get to 99% .  Clearly it hasnt done 99% of the work if it is still working away doing whatever it is that 1% falls under. Did the devs get lazy and add everything added after the progress bar was built to the end 1% causing a disparity in how much work is actually being done per %? i get that there can be exceptions to this like the last task being something that could take half a second or 20 minutes depending on conditions but when a significant amount of things do that to the point that its a noticeable trend for progress bars in general, whats the deal?
