It can go up to about 40 FPS on a K4 or newer, but 7.7 FPS is adequate for reasonably fluid animation. See the "geekmaster kindle video player" thread for details:

EDIT: A benefit to using gmplay is that it is a native mode app that works on all the kindles DX through PW, and when booted from both main and diags (important on the K4). Beware that on the DX and DXG, the framerate is limited to only 1.5 FPS.
One thing you don't (directly) mention in this tech lowdown is that code not specifically designed for the devices will/may have extra slowdown owing to other resource/optimisation related issues.

Or to put that another way - code specifically crafted for the device from the ground up will (usually) outperform code that is just dragged kicking and screaming onto the platform.
