Another alternative to avoid dirtying the whole sorter when a client is 
activated is to a per-client dirty bit, or `Option<double> share` where if set, 
it is accurate (and we can unset to induce the lazy calculation). `dirty = 
true` would be equivalent to clearing all of the clients' shares. Thinking 
about it, the `Option<double>` seems simpler to understand as well (no way for 
a stale value to be there).
