Some of the examples appeared to have no more than 2 or 3 frames. Does the test generate a 'realistic' stream using the same few source frames over and over again? Even if it does, it seems a rather narrow sample. The MIXER results show unrealistically high fps. Evidently the deinterlacing is not being performed at the same time as decoding in these tests. I suppose it's easy enough to caclulate the frame rate of both operations combined for a worst case, but how do you know to what extent they can be performed in parallel?
