Summary0019568: Threat number flickers rapidly
DescriptionHere is a save game. When I load it I see the threat changing very rapidly between 1860, 230, 150 and a variety of other numbers with the game paused.
I haven't actually left my start planet, so I have no idea why I might have 1860 threat.

I had noticed that, too, and just had not gotten around to it. Thanks!

* Under the hood, threat numbers fluctuate wildly for some reason (likely multithreading race conditions).
**We've added two new classes for tracking data over time: MaxFloatValueOverTimeList and MaxIntValueOverTimeList to deal with that.
** The latter is used in order to keep track of the max value that was seen in fifth-second intervals, and thus expire high values only after a full second has passed.
** Since the data can go upwards instantly, it's nice and responsive, and the little sub-second dips to lower values due to multithreaded calculations are not ever showing up anymore.
