@@ -3635,3 +3635,59 @@ One real caveat: the flat guest mapping (task #61, the 1.24x win) exists only
 in `tcg/aarch64`. An x86_64 host silently falls back to the software MMU. That
 is recorded in a comment next to the `abiFilters` line so the next person does
 not read x86 numbers as if the same optimisation were in play.
+
+## 2026-09-22 - the first correct in-race frame rate, on two hosts
+
+Until now no in-race frame rate had ever been measured properly; the log ring
+kept wrapping before a race finished. Every speed figure in this document
+before this entry was taken somewhere else in the game. In particular the
+"51 fps" quoted for the flat-mapping A/B (task #61) was **not** measured in a
+race and must not be compared against anything below. This repeats an error
+already made once here, when a "60 fps" reading turned out to be the results
+screen.
+
+### Method
+
+`dumpsys SurfaceFlinger --latency` on the game's own BLAST layer, six
+back-to-back samples, deduplicated by actual-present timestamp, then look at
+the **distribution** of intervals rather than an average. A screenshot is
+taken with every capture - without it there is no way to know a menu was not
+measured instead of a race, which is exactly how the old numbers went wrong.
+
+### Pixel 6a, in race (60 Hz, 16.67 ms), 140 frames
+
+    median 16.72 ms (59.8 fps)   <- misleading, do not quote
+    mean   25.32 ms (39.5 fps)   <- the honest figure
+    p95    33.38 ms, worst 66.56 ms
+
+    1 vsync  (60 fps)   74 frames
+    2 vsync  (30 fps)   61 frames
+    3 vsync  (20 fps)    3 frames
+    4 vsync  (15 fps)    2 frames
+
+The distribution is bimodal. The phone very nearly makes 60 and misses on
+roughly half the frames, dropping exactly to 30. The median sat inside the
+upper lobe and reported 59.8, which is why a median is the wrong statistic
+here and the mean is quoted instead.
+
+### WayDroid x86_64, in race (144 Hz, 6.944 ms), 128 frames
+
+    median 34.72 ms (28.8 fps)
+    mean   35.05 ms (28.5 fps)
+    p95    41.68 ms, worst 48.61 ms
+
+Every frame lands on exactly five vsync periods. Slower than the phone and
+visibly smoother, because steady beats fast-but-uneven - the user described it
+as "очень плавно" before any of this was measured, and the numbers agree.
+GLThread sits at 96.7% of one core out of sixteen: CPU-bound in translation,
+not GPU-bound.
+
+### Why this changes the priorities
+
+The 6a misses the 16.67 ms budget by a few percent. So a 10-15% CPU win does
+not buy "a few more fps" - it flips those 61 two-vsync frames back to one, and
+the phone lands on a stable 60. That makes task #63 (VFP on host FP instead of
+softfloat, ~9% of profile) and task #64 (`helper_lookup_tb_ptr`, 12.18%) worth
+far more than their profile shares suggest, and it means anything new added to
+the hot path - the multiplayer hooks included - is spending a margin that is
+currently only a few percent wide.
