Inversely, you do want the time taken to calculate each frame to be as small as possible, so that you have more time available for other things. Like the rest of the apps on a multitasking computer for instance, and definitely the rest of your own app. But yes, more FPS than can actually be displayed by the frame rate of the monitor, or perceived by the human eye, is a waste.
