Arc Raiders - Previous Bench Vs scx_gamer cpu usage reductions

Reviewing to see if reducing the cpu usage of the scheduler for scx_gamer increased framerate or improved metrics compared to previous instances. Included previous scheduler data for comparison. 4k resolution, firing range, aiming at 40 target, shadows low, reflections low, rest of settings on high. TSR ultra performance.

# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `scx_bpfland_1.0.18_ArcRivals3` with a mean FPS of roughly 3% higher than others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `scx_bpfland_1.0.18_ArcRivals3`, with the lowest variance in FPS at about 9% less than the nearest competitor. * **Best overall**: `scx_bpfland_1.0.18_ArcRivals3` due to a combination of the highest mean FPS and lowest FPS variance, offering both high performance and smooth gameplay. # Issues: * The run using the `scx_gamer_esports` scheduler experienced a significant drop in framerate compared to other configurations, with a decrease of up to 35% in mean FPS. Despite targeting a reduction in CPU usage, it failed to achieve notable gains in FPS or consistency. * The `scx_gamer_esports` test also demonstrated volatility with a standard deviation up to twice as high compared to runs with other schedulers, negatively impacting the gameplay experience with inconsistent frame rates. # Summary The benchmark primarily aimed to evaluate the impact of `scx_gamer` scheduler's CPU usage reduction, comparing against previous implementations and other scheduler configurations like `scx_bpfland`. While the `scx_gamer_esports` configurations did not perform well in terms of FPS or stability, the `scx_bpfland_1.0.18` scheduler stood out by delivering both high frame rates and smooth performance. This suggests that the `scx_bpfland` configuration, despite not specifically targeting CPU usage reductions, provided better optimization for the tested scenario, both in mean FPS and frame time stability, making it a more suitable choice under the test conditions.
