It would be interesting to see an image from just one of your passes.

P.S. The issue with the progressive averaging algorithm you describe is it doesn't
quite give the same result if you discretize each color channel to 8 bits after each
average step.  However, if these are retained to greater precision, then I agree with
you.  Still, it probably works well enough, in either case, up to for example 50
passes or so.
