@rnewson brings up a really good point. Since active tasks is polling in
the background. Instead of calculating the ETA on one request. Could you rather
wait for say 3 - 5 requests and then do an aggregate calculation for the ETA. I
think that will stabilise the ETA a bit and make it a little more consistent
between active task refreshes.
You could use local storage/pouchdb to keep a list of previous ETA's so
that whenever the user views the active tasks page they immediately get an ETA
for a long running task.
