I think I'm missing a key idea.
The proposal is to turn off TEC. I think that's because it's a
pain-in-the-ass for the guys who have to run the big control loops.
Why not just reduce the time-constant on that portion of the control loop.
Instead of trying to catch up each day, how about each week? Or month?

This reminds me of the story (from time-nuts) of how to calibrate a pocket
watch. The recipe was roughly:
Take watch to shop.
Shop puts watch in stable environment.
Shop adjusts watch to tick corectly.
Shop gives watch to customer.
Customer uses watch as "normal" for a week.
Customer brings watch back to shop.
Shop mis-adjusts watch to match customers usage patterns.

These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's. I hate spam.
