[Ti] [OT] incredible time to expand an archive

[Dr Trevor J. Hutley]

I was just expanding an archive (.sitx) using StuffitExpander 10, and  
it showed:


		Time Remaining: 2 023 406 814 hours.


Now 2 billion hours is close to 250 million years.

Where could OSX or Stuffit have derived this estimate from ??

The expansion actually took about 1 minute (22 Mb).

Just thought I would share with you folks for amusement value !
