Unexpected Performance differences when application/desktop refresh rate don't match #19

Split out from https://gitlab.com/kwinft/kdisplay/-/issues/18, I can get reliably 5-7% beter performance with 120 Hz within the application and on the desktop. By default, the desktop is 165 Hz and the (CPU-limited) game is limited to 120 Hz. The resolution is 1440p for both. But I am not sure if this is a problem of KDisplay.
I would expect that there should be no performance difference, as the application is run at 120 Hz regardless of the desktop refresh rate.
