Good question, this is why I requested some kind of design description,
which would clearly explain the problem.

Just off-the top of my head, may be it could be enough to keep the
counters only in the UBI headers, may be it is enough to work with some
kind of averages. But it is hard to tell without clearly understanding
the problem we are solving.
