Mali400, lose 15ms if using a FBO

Hello,
I am developing a game on a Galaxy S3 with a Mali 400 GPU
I noticed that as soon as I start to render my scene to a FBO, I lose 10 to 15ms in frame time when compared to directly rendering to screen....
I need a FBO in order to do some post processing, (so I want to use the content of the FBO as a source texture for a shader)
Here is what I do :
=> I use a 565 FBO, with a color attachment (I tried using or not a depth attachment, this changes nothing, depth precision is 16bits)
=> at each frame, I bind the FBO, then immediately clear it (color & depth)
=> then I render my 3D scene inside this fbo
=> after that I unbind the FBO, then draw a quad on screen with a ultra simple shader which task is only displaying the color attachment on screen, nothing else ...
=> then I draw my game's UI
=> finally I call eglSwapBuffers
So comparing FBO / not FBO there is a 10 to 15ms performance hit and this "hit" is most of the time coming from the eglSwapBuffer duration
Is that normal ? Any idea on how I could improve that ?
PS: What is even stranger is that if I start to use some more complex post processing code in the post processing shader, then I do not get much more performance hit ...
Thanks

Can you share an APK or at least a cut down code example which reproduces the problem?
