   Copy in general shows wacky progress. It seems to be
based on something like file size. Since it changes depending
on the file I'd guess that it's not a case of adding up ythe
total bytes to be copied and dividing by 100. On the other hand,
I'm rarely doing anything that I have to wait for with script.

   For instance, I regularly process my server logs to replace IP
address with hostname and location. I processed free records
from MaxMind, adding location data into an MSI file. (Which is
actually a database. I love MSIs for this kind of thing. They're
very fast and can handle vast data.) So my script will take each
IP make a hostname call through my own component, do a
lookup in the location database, then update the array item in
the array of server log lines. On XP it took several minutes. On
10 it's much faster. (Maybe faster network operations?) But it
really doesn't matter. I'm not waiting for it. I'm doing other things
while it runs.
