Thanks to everyone who offered terms to help me describe the little
gauge/icon/meter thingy that tracks progress -- I think I've decided to go
with Progress Indicator, though my favorite suggestion was "Completometer"
(thanks Walter!). And I'll include a graphic to describe it fully.

Sometimes I feel like a dog
standin' on a tool box
in the back of a pickup truck
doin' 90 round a corner
just tryin' to hang on for dear life.
