Top runs:

• Highest FPS: osu!stable-lavd-corecompact with a mean FPS slightly higher than the other run.
• Smoothest FPS: osu!stable-lavd-no-corecompact with slighty lower standard deviation and variance in FPS.
• Best overall: osu!stable-lavd-corecompact with slightly higher FPS and only marginally higher variability.

Summary

The benchmark compares the performance of osu!stable with ffmpeg using lavd with and without core compaction. Both runs used identical hardware configurations, running on CachyOS with the powersave scheduler. The setup without core compaction showed slightly smoother performance in terms of FPS stability, while the setup with core compaction achieved marginally higher average FPS. Overall, enabling core compaction seems to provide a slight performance boost without significantly affecting smoothness, making it the preferable configuration in this scenario.
