It depends on how big the speed hit is and how much work it is to mark
frames support optional. If the speed hit is only 10%, then I don't
think it's worth the effort to make it optional unless it's trivial to
make it so. If it's 50% then it should definitely be optional. I can
deal with it being optional, if that's the case.

I'm hoping this little PSA will help change that. :)
