The control system should always wait to process the result of a change
before making another change.
Figure 23 shows the process variable if sampling times are too fast,
acceptable, and barely acceptable. If the sampling frequency is too fast (2
seconds), the process variable begins to oscillate and finally destabilizes
because the PID loop output drives the actuator to extremes.
