I've been thinking about this in the context of the proposed "Display Paint Notifications" specification. If the web application receives a callback when the painting needs to occur instead of arbitrarily based on timers, then the web application can accurately keep track of framerate while also having the ability to scale down the framerate as needed to provide a great experience even on lower end hardware. I prefer the callback approach over a reporting API since it puts the web developer in control over the framerates and experience. In the case of animations that *aren't* being driven from script, the callback API might give you some way of interleaving stats gathering with paints, but it feels punitive to make a developer do that (on the UI thread) when what they really want to know is "I'm dropping below my target framerate!
