You might try using the new ActivityMonitor:
http://www.bedrivers.com/screen3.png
Although it doesn't have FPS in it (yet?)
I would assume it continues to run even a game or screensaver goes full screen?
Maybe something to add to the ActivityMonitor would be a recorder
which could log the data to a file for later playback... Just tossing
