Description
Take multiple time measurements and use them to update the offset gradually over time, possibly using some exponentially weighted updating algorithm.
Compute more accurate pings using these measurements as well (and maybe send them to the [user-status](https://github.com/mizzao/meteor-user-status) package).

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing the existing time-measurement, offset-update, and ping logic in the repository. Done means using multiple measurements to update the offset gradually, improving ping accuracy, and determining whether the results should be sent to user-status.
