If the averaging give you what you want it's fine.  It appears all
you're really interested is the low frequency transient.  But if your
noise is primarily sinusoidal the moving average might need to be very
long.  The code for a digital filter is not that complex.  I even have
one that works on integers (all integer math) therefore, very efficient
for operating on A/D counts before scaling.  As I recall it is only
about 10 lines of C.  But alas, I'm at home and the code is at work.
