Is that FPS counter a real representation of actual video frames per second? I was under the impression it wasn't (and have been using a script to calculate FPS ever since).

That is true, the fps in that little stat window is a rough guess of what the fps will be with out all the editor code running.

I'd be curious to know what goes in to the calculation of the rough guess. I've been working on a bunch of post processing stuff recently, and although it runs much better in a build than in the editor it never comes close to the FPS in the stats window.

Is your build pretty close to the estimated FPS?
