Lets see the data from another pov (feel free to disagree) -- in the android
phone/car cockpit environment, the render frequence is required above 60HZ,
IOW a frame rendered within 16ms, so what share of the 16ms does the IOPS
account for after this patchset, for example when an app in background is
brought foreground?
