For example, what happens if the shaders are loaded when the animation is already supposed to be running? My expectation would be that the animation will load the shaders and still be able to run. At least that's what happens in the software pipeline.

The compositor running animations is just a fast path to avoid recalculating style for every frame.

Ok, now I get it. Makes sense.

Ok.
