The current overall ETA doesn't really work because all the fast trackers finish quickly leaving the slow ones, meaning the current naive calculation always underestimates the ETA.
IMO the overall tracker ETA should never be less than the longest ETA of the active trackers. There are a couple of ways this could be done, but introducing a
maxETA
field onTracker
was the easiest without majorly refactoring the way overall trackers work.Here are before and after graphs that show the ETA reported (blue) vs the actual ETA (orange) in my project. They both have a lot of instability initially but the second does a much better job at guestimating the ETA once it settles.
Note - this PR also includes some general code cleanup. Let me know if you'd like this separated.
