The plugin was both more complex and less accurate than it could have been. For
simplicity, it used a weighted average, with each cycle getting twice the weight
of the previous one. As a result, the reported average really only took into
account the last three or four cycles. On a keyboard with LEDs, some cycles
take much longer than others because of relatively rare updates, so this could
lead to misleading results, with the "average" cycle time usually being reported
as lower than it really should have been, and occasionally much higher.
This new version computes an evenly-weighted mean cycle time for each interval,
and runs more efficiently, by dividing the total elapsed time by the number of
cycles that has passed since the last report, rather than computing the time for
each individual cycle.
