That would probably be possible, but I'm unsure about the gains it would 
bring. It's not because this frame is lagging that the next one will.

Also, if you only intend to influence the next frames, counting the time 
elapsed between each requestAnimationFrame call can already give incentives 
to a JS implementation to tweak the layout, right?
