Thanks man, those are interesting numbers! Especially the Falcon060. In theory, there is a framerate limiter that should limit to about 15 fps. That limit is configurable using the in-game options menu. However, the number is embedded in the recording and I'm looking for ways to maybe patch the recording in order to no longer limit framerate. Surprisingly, the Falcon exceeds those 15 fps substantially. Another surprise is the TT030, especially in comparison with the emulated version (which gives me 11.1879 fps).

I'm taking all numbers with a grain of salt for now.
