Why a Hourglass for “Run”? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I am finishing up a new Iconpack, and of all things the Run button is killing me. I just can’t do anything I like. So the question accrued to me, Why do I, and many other Icon designers use an Hourglass to represent Run? Doesn’t an Hourglass say “Wait this may take a minute”. I know I got this habit from Windows 95, and perhaps this explains the “Wait this may take a minute.” Concept. But anyway, what would be better. Any suggestions?

Vector Vs Bitmap in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums
