Is it worthwhile? The fallout from not doing it is just inaccurate
sub-second time estimates until the next cycle-count calibration
(currently once a second, and here being proposed to be about ten
seconds). In any case the calibrator needs a full calibration period
at the new speed before it can do things correctly, so such an update
call could only reset the calibration timer, saving 1/2 of a
calibration period.
