    They do not generally reflect time passed but amount of task done.

    For example, let’s say you have 100 files to configure as part of an update or installation. 99 of them are really small files that fly by, but the last one is a few gigabytes of data that needs to be configured. The bar might hang on that one really large file, then fly by the rest of the process as these files are very slow and go quickly.
