Wouldn't variable speed systems alleviate some of the issues with short cycling?

It seems like this is something that automation could help. A variable speed system could learn what the neutral setting is for different indoor-outdoor temperature gradients and cool the space slowly enough to avoid short cycling. But then I dropped out of thermodynamics when I was in school, so I really have no idea what I'm talking about.

Edit: After looking, I think everything is already in place. Our thermostat also measures humidity, so there's no reason it would run the A/C at a level that would make condensation a problem.
