The default fbc1 compression interval we use is 500 frames. That
translates to over 8 seconds typically. That's rather excessive
so let's drop it to 1 second.

The hardware will not attempt recompression unless at least one
line has been modified, so a shorter compression interval should
not cause extra bandwidth use in the purely idle scenario. Of
course in the mostly idle case we are possibly going to recompress
a bit more.

Should really try to find some kind of sweet spot to minimize
the energy usage...
