It is basically idle time. 90% = 90% of frame time was polling for next vblank, 10% of frame time was used for hardware emulation.

Any suggestions of specific options to test for this new build? (I'm mostly interested in JIT-enabled fastest possible no-buffer vsync... last stable one on my system is 2.4.1 beta 14, not release 2.4.1.)
I don't know anymore.. No one else still haven't said anything and it has always worked fine on all my 3 test systems..

-vsynclog will show if it is missed frame (You would need second display to see the log properly..). -vsynclog2 log may also help.

EDIT: So wildly changing results may point to some power saving feature that gets confused. (Like nvidia on my work laptop with "adaptive powersomething" enabled. It is not always CPU or OS level power saving = OS power saving options have no effect!)
