Not sure what’s going on with Hyperion - only ~ 14 fps for 768x576 but ~ 88 fps for 1920x1080?

EDIT: Just did a quick Hyperion test for real on a 768x576 source and got around 196 fps! So no idea where that 14.18 figure came from.

Somehow these benchmark values are totally out of place / fluctuate quite a lot..
