/// A tranquilizer is a helper object that is used to make
/// background operations not take up too much time.
///
/// Background operations are done in a loop that does the following:
/// - do one step of the background process
/// - tranquilize, i.e. wait some time to not overload the system
///
/// The tranquilizer observes how long the steps take, and keeps
/// in memory a number of observations. The tranquilize operation
/// simply sleeps k * avg(observed step times), where k is
/// the tranquility factor. For instance with a tranquility of 2,
/// the tranquilizer will sleep on average 2 units of time for every
/// 1 unit of time spent doing the background task.
