I reworked it to the below. This settles a bit faster. The average is sort of squishy because
it's 3 samples divided by 4. And if we stay in a single call after updating the period the "average"
will be even less accurate.

It settles at a larger value faster so produces fewer messages and none of the callback supressed ones.
The added complexity may not be worth it, though.

I think this or your version, either one, would work.

What needs to happen now to get one of them to land somewhere? Should I just repost one with my
signed-off and let you add whatever other tags? And if so do you have a preference for which one?

Also, Ben, thoughts?

Cheers,
Phil
