here?
By default Mesa throttles its buffer swaps so that compositor is able to
easier insert its own batches to better place in GPU batch queue.
If throttling is disabled, compositor needs to discard more frames as
obsolete, because benchmark is running too many frames forward of it.
Normally having no throttling means that:
* composited performance looks worse to the user, because only some of
the rendered frames end up on screen
* benchmark runs faster because compositor composes less frames, i.e.
takes less of the system bandwidth

On TDP constrained machines, power management can do funky things. When
in doubt, use fixed GPU & CPU speeds are re-test.
