Measure end-to-end pipeline throughput before changing the VVAS configuration. Use GStreamer’s FPS display support to check how many frames the complete pipeline processes:

gst-launch-1.0 <pipeline> ! fpsdisplaysink text-overlay=false sync=false video-sink=fakesink

If the FPS is lower than expected, confirm where the time is spent. Use GStreamer debug logs and tracers to check whether the bottleneck is outside ML inference, such as file input, file output, decode, overlay, synchronization, or downstream sinks. For VVAS and GStreamer logging options, see VVAS Debugging Support.
