Indeed. I've amendedthe patch and made it an option for jalv.gtk "-r"
(attached).

@drobilla: please consider merging it.

No host can guarantee it -- unless it runs the UI with RT privileges
and/or syncs to screen VBlank or sth along those lines.

But having an 'estimate' time that is known to both plugin and UI would
be helpful.
e.g. the plugin does not need to send meter-level updates at 25Hz if the
UI is only running at 15Hz. In fact some updates would simply be lost or
just make the UI work a bit harder (draw twice) with no benefit.

Cheers!
