When the application is minimized, no rendering or paint events are being pipelined, so the rendering cycle may go up very quickly. As soon as you restore your application, the framerate must drop back down to your monitor's refresh frequency. It's perfectly normal for your application to do this, but you may want to consider using timing as a means to benchmark your application's speed. This way, framerate frequencies do not matter since your objects will rely on elasped time instead.
