I can add a simple heuristic that has a minimum time between writes and a burst
budget, so with - lets say 1 minute and burst 10 - would let you make 10 writes
quickly but on average not more than 1 write a minute. Shouldn't be more than a
dozen LoC.

On MS-Windows you can't set the slideshow to more frequent than 1 minute, but
most other desktops let you go down to 1 second - and I kind of don't want to
degrade the current capabilities.
