Progress bar needs more fidelity

[ZipCPU]

Expected Behavior

The progress bar should slowly move from left to right

Actual Behavior

The progress bar is either at 50% or 100%, never anywhere else

Suggested behavior

First, estimate the total time.

1. If a previous run exists, use the amount of time in the previous run as an estimate of the time required.

2. If no previous run exists, or if the previous time has elapsed, estimate the total time expected as the elapsed time plus the average time of the last two cycles times the number of remaining cycles.

Now measure the progress based upon the elapsed time vs the total time expected.

Also suggest that you don't go past 99% completion--just so the user doesn't get confused about how much is left.
