Testing object detection (yolo, mobilenet, etc.) with picamera2 on Pi 5

Besides the Pi 5 being approximately 2.5x faster for general compute, the addition of other blocks of the Arm architecture in the Pi 5's upgrade to A76 cores promises to speed up other tasks, too.

On the Pi 4, popular image processing models for object detection, pose detection, etc. would top out at 2-5 fps using the built-in CPU. Accessories like the Google Coral TPU speed things up considerably (and are eminently useful in builds like my Frigate NVR), but a Coral adds on $60 to the cost of your Pi project.

With the Pi 5, if I can double or triple inference speed—even at the expense of maxing out CPU usage—it could be worth it for some things.
