Sniff, I was rather proud of our achievement. I had it in mind as a
template for future autocalibration routines. Is it really useless
overengineering, or worse broken?

It works fine I think, but the problem is I cannot locate a source of systematic error which seems proportional to number of loop iterations. :( After battling with trying to improve it for a couple days I decided to try to see how the simpler approach will fare on the shards.

There's the tasklet delay, which made me think things could be better without RT. And then polling on the spinner makes it worse in all cases for me, however I fiddle with it. So again, I wanted to try the simplification..

The version from this patch seems super stable on my system, but the 50% case still has an apparent +.5-6% systematic error. Maybe on the shards it will not be as stable..

Regards,

Tvrtko
