BME280 smoothing quite a lot? #19

Description

@DrTron

Hello Richard,

Thank you very much for your library, it's running very well.
I noticed that the BME280 seems to smooth out values rather strongly (thus not reacting to changes quickly). I understand that this is a feature of the chip itself, but I wondered if there was a way to disable this behavior.

I've been running it in parallel with a DHT22, and I notice that the BME280 lags behind the DHT22 quite a lot. For instance, the two sensors show the same temperature at 7 am, but at 10 am, when outside temperature has risen, the BME280 is lagging behind (7 degrees F as of right now, which I think is quite a lot.

So is this an effect of the compensation settings, which could be changed via the library?

Thanks!
