For sure more thoughts.

Yes:
 - do not switch if better-costs > slow-threshold * current-costs
 - do fast switch if better-costs <= fast-threshold * current-costs   # fast means: at least candidate is selected twice in succession
 - lazy for other costs, something like:
   (1 - (slow_threshold * current_costs - better_costs) / (current_costs *  (slow_threshold - fast_threshold))) * sgw_threshold_duration
   And something with sgw-timer-interval
My suggested defaults:
      SmartGatewayFastThreshold  0.3
      SmartGatewaySlowThreshold  0.7
      SmartGatewayMaxSwitchTime  180
SmartGatewayFastThreshold must be less or equal to SmartGatewaySlowThreshold.
If SlowGatewayFastThreshold is zero, there is no switchover.
And some div by zero checks....

If almost everybody benefits, it is ok to put it in the baseline.
Plugin is great for special cases. E.g. set the up- and download rates. Or set up multiple tunnels and adjust routing.
