How to increase GNOME timed wallpaper repaint frequency?

[SethFalco]

I'm setting up a timed wallpaper on Debian 11 with GNOME, but when duration is configured to be < 1 second, it doesn't work as expected.

The duration (or each frame) is timed correctly, however the desktop wallpaper itself is only actually being painted once per second.

Is it possible to configure Debian / GNOME to update or repaint the desktop more frequently? The target is 60 updates per second, but getting it to 30, 15, or even 2 updates per second would be progress at least.

What I've tried:

• Looking for solutions online, but they tend to set the duration > 1 second, or use additional software to play videos or GIFs on the desktop. I'm keen to get the best results I can without additional software.
• Read the documentation, but GNOME doesn't have much for timed wallpapers, just normal wallpapers which isn't helping. (Desktop Wallpaper, Add extra backgrounds)
• I have been unable to find a generic setting related to the wallpaper or desktop update frequency.

I actually asked about this on Stack Exchange before, but haven't received an answer yet. There is a bit more context there:

Would anyone be able to direct me on how I could achieve this?
