commit 506d4bc8 upstream. The current noise computation does: \Sum abs(n_i - avg(n)) * N^-1.5 Which is (afaik) not a regular noise function, and needs the complete sample set available to post-process. Change this to use a regular stddev computation which can be done by keeping a two sums: stddev = sqrt( 1/N (\Sum n_i^2) - avg(n)^2 ) For which we only need to keep \Sum n_i and \Sum n_i^2.
