common sense conducts me that processor got easier job to produce a frame with 786432 pixels, than with 1310720 pixels. that means your pc will produce more fps with lower r_mode. basically, the better computer you have, the higher r_mode you can afford to. of course you need to have good monitor* as well.
also, the smallest is r_mode, the bigger are pixels (as they still got the same superficies to fill up) and that makes the quality of picture lower.
cheers
* for example my lcd supports 1280x1024 at best. i use it in windows. but because i got shitty pc i use r_mode 6 in et.
r_mode 8 is 1280x1024 px
