1. When I run an apt command, it goes ahead and runs an automated version of the command on a "shadow" apt on the same machine.
2. It measures the time it took to do that operation on the shadow apt.
3. By the time I respond "y" to the command, it uses the duration from step 2 to display a time-based progress bar that animates smoothly over said duration.
4. If the shadow apt command hasn't finished by the time I respond "y" to the command, it brings up Ms. Pacman for me to play for a bit.
I bet I'd be a much more satisfied user!
