Is there a risk with the per-frame API for keyframes, that the encoded stream has more visual artifacts as a result of the encoder having a harder time predicting how to allocate the target bitrate, than if it were to configure the encoder with a per-frame interval?

I have seen behavior in libvpx suggesting this, but I'm not sure how much of it was due to using VPX_EFLAG_FORCE_KF and how much was due to a [libvpx bug](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1714).

IIRC Firefox sets a keyframe interval of 10 seconds, for historical reasons [1], and occasionally recalculates the frame-interval based on recent incoming framerate, so it can configure the encoder with this.

[1] our ebml writer only creates a new cluster on a keyframe, and the max timestamp within a cluster is 32 seconds.
