Imo, yes. You could also look at the numbers for xv and gl and compare them to
the numbers I posted above.

I hope this is a typo and you tested KTXLtest_1225_for_5_1280x720_60hz_ts.mpeg2,
the same clip I used (the one you uploaded)...

But I see now that the clip you offered me only has 1688 frames, so I believe
now I did not spend my time in a very useful way!!

[The following paragraph of course only made sense as long as I thought we
tested the same sample]
It means that your system needs 56 seconds to play (the video of) this 30 second
60fps sample. It takes 20 seconds for me, no matter which (useful) vo and no
matter which (working) vc I use. Do you know the refresh rate of your screen?
Mine is 85Hz which means there is plenty of time to output nearly 60 frames per
second.
For vo vdpau, you could try
export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1
