30fps vs 60fps, GPU vs CPU (Gaming)

Programmers can correct me if I'm wrong, but the CPU has to generate the display lists to send to the GPU for rendering. This is why even though 4 player split screen is the same number of pixels, you get slowdown. The CPU is assembling 4 display lists instead of one. The GPU can't draw what it doesn't get, so there is inescapable overhead in improving the frame rate.
