Times are per 128-frame audio block. Test budget used divides the p95 time by the block period at that case’s sample rate. Machine and runtime are shared.

Typical summarizes the middle measured block times. Busier blocks summarizes the time that 95% of blocks completed within in each repeat. These figures measure DSP processing; application scheduling, loading samples and device output require separate checks. Memory and signal probes run separately from the timing loop.
