Yeah, that inconsistent framerate is a compiz/beryl feature! :/
If you use UAE fullscreen, you can probably get around the problem by using
the configuration editor and going to compiz/screen0/options and activating
unredirect_fullscreen_windows. This disables the compositing part of the
window manager while a fullscreen app is running.
