This wont work when new_load < old_load ..
For ex: I tried this prog:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
unsigned long old_load = 100, new_load = 90, this_load, this_load1;
int i = 1, scale = 2 << i;
this_load = (old_load*(scale-1) + new_load) >> i;
this_load1 = old_load + ((new_load - old_load) >> i);
printf ("this_load = %u, this_load1 = %u \n", this_load, this_load1);
}
This is what I get:
$ ./a.out
this_load = 195, this_load1 = 2147483743
$
