According to work published by the well-known usability expert Jakob Nielsen, www.useit.com/papers/responsetime.html, there are a couple of good reasons for having application progress indicators:
- They reassure users that the application is still working on their problem.
- They provide information that helps users make decisions about doing other activities during long wait times.
- They make waiting less painful by providing something to look at.
