appsink as-is may break zero-copy, so on top of the decoding overhead,
you may have detiling (linearization) overhead. If you need to maintain
zero-copy with appsink, consider adapting the caps and perhaps
implementing the allocation query (you can refer to kmscube sample app
from the Mesa team on how to use appsink in zero-copy).
