Guess that depends on how you deal with the conservation of energy.
The eneergy transportet via the light of distant stars (or any source 
outside the anomaly) depends on the number of photons and their 
frequency. Frequency would shift if you keep the wavelength constant 
while changing the timescale, so their number would have to change on 
the fly. You'd probably get either mystrious blackouts or funky 
interference effects, depending on the factor between local time and 
whats accepted as universal standard :)

A pendulums motion depends on potential and kinetic energy, both of them 
  have time in their equations.
