> This is a quick workaround until we do a better balancer.
> Taking a region off line when cluster is under load is bad news.  Latency goes up as we wait on regions to come up in new locations.
> The load balancer should only cut in if the cluster is way out of alignment.
> I'd argue that 10% deviance from the avg. is not good enough reason moving regions around when cluster is under load.
> Balancer already has a knack for cutting in at most inopportune moments: during cluster startup, when new node is added to a small cluster, or moving a region just after its been opened on a node.  We'll need to do a better balancer but meantime lets just allow that region loading can be sloppier, say 20% or 30% off the average before balancer cuts in.
