Hmm... why do we need to limit scale to 4096?  As 4096 is a big
number, this is only theoretical but this means that if max is more
then 2048 times low, that will never be reached, right?

I think the code can use some comments.

Would it be worthwhile to factor the common part into a helper?

Cool, so linear increase and exponential backdown.  Yeah, that makes
sense to me but let's please document it.

Thanks.
