Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the RetroArch menu behavior with a monitor refresh rate that exposes the GPU whine, then trace the menu rendering or frame-pacing path. Done means the menu is capped at the monitor refresh rate without the reported excessive GPU activity.
