My knee-jerk algorithm would say subtract one average from the total of all averages, add in the new period, and divide by the number in the average. If programming in assembler I would go with 128 rather than 100 steps to keep the division easy (rotate a copy of the accumulator right 7 bits). Divide can be costly if done in hardware.
The 'right way' is probably to keep a list and re-add them each time just having a FIFO queue for the individual timings. ... Also speed things up keep the 'total' in an accumulator, and process using the 'knee-jerk' method, but subtracting the entry about to rotate out of the queue before adding the new one. You still have the divide of the accumulation to do. I hope this helps.
