Offset rotation time when using multiple slideshows?

Description

I have created 3 sideshows of images and have them showing next to each other horizontally on a page. I'd like their rotation intervals to be identical but do not want them to rotate at the same time. In other words, I want the first to rotate, then the second, then the third, then the first, etc, and I want this interval to remain constant as long as the page is open. To do this, I need to be able to offset the first rotation time of the 2nd and 3rd slideshows.

The only way I've been able to achieve something close to this is to just set different rotation times for each view so at least they don't rotate at the same time but then the interval changes after the first rotation since the difference in intervals is additive. Any ideas on how I might accomplish this? Thanks!

Changed this to a feature as I don't tink it can be done at present. This is something i have been looking at since installing the module.

We have Timer Delay for each slideshow, which sets the time between changes,

but we need

Timer Offset which allows us to set the time offset before the slideshow actions its first change. I use the term "action its first change" as i assume the slideshow is running from the moment the node is open.

as an aside by offsetting would we reduce resource usage or increase it?
