The performances measured by the first patch (the number of macroblock per cycle) remain
the same because the goal of using compressed frames is to save memory bandwidth.
That doesn't impact what is measure by the Hantro hardware block itself.
To give you an example that is the result of decoding one of the fluster reference file.

Files like SLIST_A_Sony_5, SLIST_B_Sony_9, SLIST_C_Sony_4, SLIST_D_Sony_9 or
DBLK_A_MAIN10_VIXS_4 are now decoded by the driver.

fluster score is 70/147.
I think it could be better but, in few cases, it seems that the last frames
isn't retrieved by the userland stack but that need to be verify and debug
in an other series ;-)
