What we usually do is to make the renderer asynchronous. This way, you
don't wait for the renderer to finish, and can receive the following
frame immediately. Then, whenever a frame is submitted while another is
being rendered, you can skip it (ideally sending a QoS message to tell
the app you have done so).

You should also check that max-lateness/deadline-timeout and other sink
properties are configured correctly. That QoS is enabled also, since
some element can decide a head of time to drop a buffer is it's safe to
do so and that this buffer isn't going to make it.
