This isn't entirely true. I'm actually slowing down the N900 to emulate the true speed of the mega drive, otherwise you would be playing in some sort of fast motion. When I disable this code, I get consistent 70-90 fps.

If you are talking about CD games with real time mp3 decoding, that's a whole different story.

AFAIK none of the maemo 5 graphic APIs expose vsync info so that's pretty much a big no. Of course it would have a performance impact if it was possible to implement, but probably still in very playable levels.
