I do not have a camera avaible yet and will be on tour next weeks.
But I plan to come back on this topic by end of May and June

sorry. yes I meant Framerate decreases (from let's say 250 down to 120 
or even less)

hope to do further (and more detailed) testing soon.
also with some (faulty) examples..
here are some of the more good ones - if interested:
