I get the whole 'add random bits to progress bar' idea, but as Seth mentioned, since program execution halts whilst something loads, how does one manage to do *anything* as far as a progress bar goes.

Unless all the suggestions that follow Seth's post relate to methods that _complement_ his idea of loading into a bank first?
