Description

Widgets should be able to require paint-only animations, eg animations that don't change their layout.

When dispatching animations, you could then skip offscreen widgets. Animation event should include some kind of timestamp, so that widget that skip animation frames can display the correct contents.

Research direction

Start by locating how animations are dispatched to widgets and how animation events are represented. Determine how paint-only animations can be distinguished from layout-changing animations, how offscreen widgets would be skipped, and what timestamp information is needed to display the correct contents; done means these requirements are defined and supported.
