Statistics Tab - Zero Seeding of Averages - 7.20.2 and 7.22.2

It appears to me that the Host Average is likely something like 20 days trailing, with a Zero Seed.  See here screenshots from a new BOINC install on a new Host.  The sum for the 20 days shown is ~300K.

  Divided by 20 this would be ~15k per day.  The screenshot of the Host Average doesn't flatten out to that point until about day 20.  Even more telling, is if I suppose it is a zero seeded 20 trailing average and stipulate Day 1 equals 15k, then 15k/20= 750, which is appox what is shown in the Host Averages screenshot.

In order to better reflect early/recent performance changes, I propose seeding all averages with first record seen, whether trailing or not.

Thank you,

Mistake pasting the Host Average Screenshot in-line above.  Here's the correct screenshot showing ~15k/day plateau at ~day 20, and ~750 on day 1:
