David, As it says in very many places, the clock filter algorithm selects the minium delay sample of the last eight samples. Studies back to the early 1980s show these are by far the best ones. Sometimes, but not always, this results in seven out of eight samples being discarded. The discipline loop paramters are specifically selected to oversample by a factor of two relative to the Nyquist rate, even if seven out of eitght samples are lost. Now, would you rather the algorithm use more samples even if they are not optimal?
