Yes, I agree that kind of animation is worse than
useless. Whatever you use to indicate progress, it
should represent REAL progress!

The tricky part is coming up with a way of measuring
progress that is both meaningful and reasonably
smooth. I hate it when e.g. the progress bar zips
quickly up to about 25%, sits there for half an
hour, and then suddenly jumps the rest of the
way...
