If I'm not mistaking it should be around 17766 per frame on a C64 PAL system right?

63 cycles per scanline * 282 scanlines = 17766

The PAL C64 has 312 scanlines giving 63*312 = 19656 cycles. If the display is activated (without sprites), the VIC will steal 40 cycles for each badline which gives us 63*312 - (25*40) = 18656 cycles. Add some sprites and the free cycles will decrease even more.
