> How fast do you want your slideshow to be?

we're in 2026, 240hz screens are becoming common. Nothing in the end-user experience should take more than 3-4ms. My personal goal when developing is keeping things at at least 60FPS and ideally 120 when building the whole stack with ASAN / UBSAN / stdlib's debug modes.

For instance when looking at this the first thing I thought was to try to make an installation which permanently recurses the codec's application on itself at each frame, to give the impression of a constantly moving landscape. Impossible on a smaller machine if computing a single frame takes 150ms.
