It's my understanding that Performer is always a slave to the vertical
retrace rate - it's the only means of frame scheduling... So you can only
run at VOF supported frame rates - regardless of whether you're drawing
anything or not...

You might want to look into something called REACT/pro - which is a
real-time frame scheduler which sits on top of IRIX 5.3 and above... it
can give you a frame scheduler that basically replaces IRIX's for any given
CPU... and you can also sync CPU's... -- this is maybe what you want?

Frames can be triggered from either internal or external sources and you can
divide things up into major and minor frames.... (many minor frames
occuring within the one major frame)
