You certainly see meters around (in consumer hardware, as well as software) that you just know are really nothing but eye-candy! ;) The VU meter is I think another interesting example of the cheap-and-easy in the analog domain being quite different from the cheap-and-easy in digital. I've personally never used a hardware VU meter in recording, so to me, DPMs seem like the traditional meter type, and the averaging ones are the new-fangled ones. :) As for meter refresh rates, I always appreciate a user setting for this - though theoretically I guess you could do things like determining the display hardware's refresh rate and varying the refresh rate depending on reserve CPU capacity.
