Preview: playback steps down a resolution when it can't keep up

Browse Source 
Settings > Previews > Lower Resolution When Playback Can't Keep Up (on by
default): a preview at Resolution Auto that stalls on uncached frames and
shows under 80 % of its frame rate for two seconds plays on at half the
scale, and two seconds later at a quarter if still slow, no lower than the
Adaptive Resolution Limit. Stopping goes back to the viewer's resolution
and Cache Frames When Idle fills it in. An explicit Resolution, the comp's
or the Preview panel's, is kept as set.

First playback of a 1080p comp with a blur (cache_bench --play): 9.0 to
22.1 frames/s on the CPU (about 27 once at Half), 4.1 to 16.1 with Mercury
Auto on an integrated GPU; plain clips that keep up stay at Full.
