Benchmarks

Since i.MX8M Mini has only 1 GB memory, it is difficult to receive all the images in time when Debayer is performed on the host system (Error: mvdma_irq_tasklet-0=HUNGER!). Running acquistion without Debayering on the host results in no error images, there are lost frames. Ideally the camera should run at 1 PCIe 2.0 Lane speed (i.e. 500 MB/s).
