In addition to HBE's approach above, I really like Michael's suggestion to allow the apps to tell the client that their fraction done reporting is indeed accurate, i.e. because of the app's known "linear" progress behavior. In such cases the estimate should be fully dynamic. This should be an opt-in flag, overriding the default static/dynamic approach. JM2C, Oliver
