This may be opening a pointless can of worms,
but, I'm really curious as to how to explain
the behavior I'm seeing. Each time I run
gears, it is perfectly consistent in it's
speed (+/- .5 FPS) for that instance. But,
each time I run gears, it is consistent around
a different value that ranges from 718 all the
way to 751 FPS. Why would it do this? What
might be determining this rate and why is it
so consistent each time, and why does it not
vary in each instance all the way up to the
fastest I've seen it can go (~751)?

This is not what I'd expect.
