Effects are given the interval between two consecutive frames. The main flaw of this approach is that if the Compositor transitions from the idle state to "active" state, i.e. when there is something to repaint, effects may see a very large interval between the last painted frame and the current. In order to address this issue, the Scene invalidates the timer that is used to measure time between consecutive frames before the Compositor is about to become idle. While this works perfectly fine with Xinerama-style rendering, with per screen rendering, determining whether the compositor is about to idle is rather a tedious task mostly because a single output can't be used for the test. Furthermore, since the Compositor schedules pointless repaints just to ensure that it's idle, it might take several attempts to figure out whether the scene timer must be invalidated if you use (true) per screen rendering. Ideally, all effects should use a timeline helper that is...
