jleslie,

There is some overhead in using the hardware timer which is why you get higher FPS when the FPS limit is OFF.

I myself found that it is better to set the FPS limit ON at about 2-3 fps less than the highest framerate the system can run. This way you get as close to max FPS as before but with much less CPU usage.
