In fact for many (if not most) monitoring and management situations, moving averages are more useful than infinitely historical data. If load patterns may change over time, it is often reasonable (or necessary) that recent

This implies some knowledge of what has gone before and the
timeframe associated with that. Not only that, but when you start
bothering about short-term reactions, you can easily screw up
the long-term results.

Instant-by-instant LB is certainly a "viable" concept, but
longer-termed averaging is a more sustainable solution, imo.
