# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `FLASH-DEFAULT` with a mean FPS higher than the others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `FLASH-5MS` with the lowest FPS variance among all runs. * **Best overall**: `FLASH-DEFAULT` as it balances high FPS with relatively low variance. # Issues: * The `BPFLAND-2MS-kthreads` and `FLASH-2MS-kthreads` runs showed noticeably lower low 1% FPS metrics compared to their respective counterparts, indicating occasional frame rate drops which could affect smooth gameplay. This issue is apparent despite identical hardware and software configurations. # Summary This benchmark compares different scheduling slices and configurations like `-k` threads in Flash and BPFLAND schedulers under otherwise identical hardware and software setups. The Flash scheduler generally demonstrated superior performance, with the `DEFAULT` configuration offering the highest average FPS and a good balance of stability. Meanwhile, configurations using `-k` threads showed reduced lower percentile FPS, indicating infrequent frame rates, which may lead to less smooth gameplay. The findings suggest the Flash scheduler, particularly in its default setup, offers the best overall performance for gaming on the given hardware.
