Bruno Randolf af55688435 lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts
Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve
performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think
this is something we can live with.

Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!
