Modification of Zachary's answer Zachary's answer on a related question, with massive improvements by manatwork:

s='-\|/'
for x in {0..100};{
printf "\rloading ${s:x%4:1} $x %%"
sleep `printf .%03d $[RANDOM%750+1]`
}

I had to look up how to do random numbers in bash.

Ungolfed / Explained

s='-\|/'
for x in {0..100}
{
    # \r returns the carriage to the beginning of the current line.
    # ${s:x%4:1} grabs a substring from s, at index x%4, with a length of 1.
    printf "\rloading ${s:x%4:1} $x %%"

    # "$RANDOM is an internal bash function that returns
    #   a pseudorandom integer in the range 0 - 32767."
    # .%03d is a dot followed by a base-ten number formatted to 3 places,
    #   padded with zeros if needed.
    # sleep accepts a floating point number to represent milliseconds.
