No, certainly not!!! You can go at the video rate (although
admittedly, no faster).

FLOAT and LOCK block once per frame, and FREE_RUN may never
block at all if you hit the right stride. I had suggested
some tricks that might get a little bit more performance out
in some cases, and one of the suggestions was terribly bogus
because it would have blocked twice.
