No, that's not really the whole picture: it much more tells you about when the 
older samples were *really* low. y/x grows arbitrarily fast for x->0, but only 
linearly for increasing y. I've tried to explain why this is a bad idea in my 
opinion.

notice that lack of boundedness is definitely a sign of lost information, and 
you throw away even more by thresholding.

It gives a step. A step contains all frequencies. Especially, a step after your 
[1,-1] filter gives you an impulse.

Exactly!

Why threshold? sounds like you want something that has a temporal behaviour, 
not a value amplitude-dependent behaviour

I think I've clearly laid out my feelings about that!
