I don't see why this should be a criterium for the user to base any
decisions on. It's purely an internal implementation detail that's tied
to the way frame threading is currently implemented and can potentially
change later. So I don't see why it should be accessible through the
API.

Also, not sure if you saw but I have new patch fixing this problem in
another manner.
