So I think there are two schools here, either you take average and display 
+ / - from that, but I think I prefer to take the lowest of the last 100 
samples (or something), and then display PDV from that "floor" value, ie 
PDV can't ever be negative, it can only be positive.

Apart from that, the above multi-place RTT test is really really nice, 
thanks for doing this!
