RAF doesn't control the duration either so you're correct that it doesn't do anything for your use case. > Is this considered a non-issue or is it more something for the performance timeline/user timing specs? This issue didn't really come up in our radar yet and I don't think performance timeline or user timings would help here. Unless someone picks this up in the Group, I don't think we'll make progress.
