Why so fast?  It takes a certain amount of time to see a bunch of blinky
lights, recognize them as a number, comprehend that number, then do
something with the information.  If you go too fast, you annoy people that
the number changed before they had fully internalized the previous one.  I
think 5Hz is probably over that limit or at least near it.  Take a look at a
normal digital voltmeter.  I think you'll find the update rate is more like
2-3Hz.  I'm sure Fluke and other put some thought into this.  Why not just
do what they did?  If your display bounced between adjacent numbers every
500mS, I doubt it would be all that annoying.
