Engine-\n  neutral method that pairs with each engine's profiler. Use when the user mentions performance,\n  optimize, low/dropping FPS, frame drops, stutter, lag, profiler, frame budget, draw calls,\n  batching, garbage collection/GC spikes, object pooling, or \"the game runs slow\".\n---\n\n# Performance optimization\n\nPerformance work is a measurement discipline, not a bag of tricks. The method is always the\nsame: **profile → find the one bottleneck → fix that → measure again**. This skill teaches that\nloop and the highest-leverage fixes (pooling, batching, allocation control, asset budgets), and\npoints you at each engine's profiler. It pairs with `physics-tuning` for simulation cost.\n\n## When to use\n\n- Use when the frame rate is low or uneven, the game stutters/hitches, or it must hit a target\n  (60 FPS desktop, 30/60 mobile) and currently doesn't.\n- Use to decide *what* to optimize: profile, read the frame budget, and identify whether the CPU\n  or GPU is the bottleneck before changing any code.\n- Use to apply specific fixes: object pooling, draw-call/batch reduction, removing per-frame\n  allocations and GC spikes, and setting asset budgets.\n\n**When *not* to use:** for physics jitter/tunneling/timestep specifically, use `physics-tuning`.\nFor the engine's concrete profiler UI and rendering settings, use that\nengine skill (`godot-export` covers some build settings; engine cores cover the rest). This skill\nis the cross-engine method and the shared fixes.\n\n## The golden rule: measure first, never guess\n\nMost performance \"fixes\" applied without profiling target the wrong thing and add complexity for\nno gain. **Do not optimize code you have not measured.** Open the profiler, find the single\nbiggest cost in a representative scene on representative hardware, and fix that. Re-measure to\nconfirm the fix helped before moving on. Profile a **release/optimized build** where it matters —\neditor and debug builds lie (editor overhead, no compiler optimization).\n\n## Core workflow\n\n1. **Define the target and reproduce.** State the goal (e.g. 60 FPS = 16.67 ms/frame) and find a\n   repeatable worst-case scene. \"Sometimes slow\" is unfixable; a reproducible spike is fixable.\n2. **Profile before touching code.** Run the engine profiler and read the frame: total frame\n   time, and the split between CPU (game logic, physics, scripts) and GPU (rendering).\n3. **Find the bottleneck — CPU or GPU.** If GPU time ≫ CPU, attack draw calls/overdraw/shaders/\n   resolution. If CPU time dominates, attack scripts/physics/allocations. Fixing the wrong side\n   does nothing.\n4. **Fix the single biggest cost.** Prefer an **algorithmic** win (do less work, cache, spatial\n   partition, run less often) over micro-optimizing a hot line. Apply the matching shared fix\n   (pooling, batching, allocation removal).\n5. **Re-measure on the same scene/hardware.** Confirm the number moved. Keep or revert based on\n   data, not intuition.\n6. **Set budgets so it stays fixed.** Per-frame ms budgets per subsystem, plus asset budgets\n   (texture sizes, triangle counts, draw-call ceilings); add a perf check to verification.\n7. **Report measured numbers.** State before/after frame time, the bottleneck found, and the fix\n   — never \"should be faster\". If you could only measure in-editor, say so.\n\n## Patterns\n\n### 1. Frame budget math (turn \"feels slow\" into a number)\n\n```text\ntarget FPS → frame budget:   60 FPS = 16.67 ms   |   30 FPS = 33.3 ms   |   120 FPS = 8.33 ms\nThe WHOLE frame (CPU sim + render submit + GPU) must fit the budget; the GPU runs in parallel,\nso the slower of CPU-frame and GPU-frame sets your FPS. Allocate sub-budgets, e.g. @60 FPS:\n  gameplay/scripts ~5 ms · physics ~3 ms · rendering(CPU submit) ~4 ms · UI/other ~2 ms · slack.\nIf one subsystem blows its slice, that's your target — not whatever you assumed.\n```\n\n### 2. Measure with the engine profiler (do this before any fix)\n\n```text\nGodot 4.7 : Debugger ▸ Profiler (script/physics time) and Monitors tab (FPS, draw calls, memory).\n            In code: Performance.get_monitor(Performance.TIME_PROCESS) and\n            Performance.get_monitor(Performance.RENDER_TOTAL_DRAW_CALLS_IN_FRAME).\nUnity 6.3 LTS   : Profiler window (CPU/GPU/Memory/Rendering modules) + Frame Debugger for draw calls.\n            In code: a ProfilerRecorder tracking \"CPU Main Thread Frame Time\" for a HUD/log.\nUnreal 5  : `stat unit` (Frame/Game/Draw/GPU ms), `stat fps`, `stat scenerendering` (draw calls);\n            Unreal Insights for deep traces.\n# Read the split: is the Draw/GPU line the biggest, or the Game/CPU line? That decides the fix.\n```\n\n### 3. Object pooling (stop allocating/freeing in hot loops)\n\n```gdscript\n# Bullets, particles, enemies, damage numbers: reuse a fixed set instead of instantiate()/free()\n# every frame — that thrashes memory and (in C#) feeds the GC.\nvar _pool: Array[Node] = []\nfunc acquire() -> Node:\n    var n: Node = _pool.pop_back() if not _pool.is_empty() else bullet_scene.instantiate()\n    n.set_process(true); n.visible = true\n    return n\nfunc release(n: Node) -> void:\n    n.set_process(false); n.visible = false       # disable + hide; DON'T free\n    _pool.append(n)                                # back to the pool for reuse\n# RIGHT: pre-warm the pool at load; reuse. WRONG: instantiate()/queue_free() per shot.\n```\n\n### 4. Cut draw calls (the most common GPU-side win)\n\n```text\nEach unique material/texture/state change is roughly a draw call; thousands of them stall the GPU.\n- Atlas textures and share materials so sprites/meshes batch into one call.\n- Identical meshes → GPU instancing (Unity), MultiMesh / MultiMeshInstance (Godot), Instanced\n  Static Mesh (Unreal).\n- Static geometry → static batching / baking; mark non-moving objects static.\n- Reduce overdraw: limit large overlapping transparent/particle layers (they re-shade pixels).\n- Fewer real-time lights/shadows; bake lighting where it doesn't move.\nMeasure draw calls before and after — the count should drop, and so should GPU frame time.\n```\n\n### 5. Kill per-frame allocations (GC spikes = stutter)\n\n```csharp\n// Unity 6.3 LTS (C#). Allocating every frame fills the managed heap; the GC then stalls a frame.\n// WRONG (allocates each call): foreach (var e in FindObjectsOfType<Enemy>()) ...  // + LINQ, new[]\n// RIGHT: cache references once, reuse buffers, avoid LINQ/boxing in Update.\nvoid Update() {\n    _hits = Physics.RaycastNonAlloc(ray, _hitBuffer);   // reuse a preallocated array\n    for (int i = 0; i < _hits; i++) { /* ... */ }       // no per-frame allocation\n}\n// Godot/GDScript: avoid building new arrays/dictionaries every frame in _process; reuse them.\n```\n\n## Pitfalls\n\n- **Optimizing without profiling.** The intuitive culprit is usually wrong. Measure first, every\n  time.\n- **Profiling the editor / a debug build.** Editor overhead and unoptimized code mislead. Profile\n  a release build on target hardware for real numbers.\n- **Fixing the wrong side.** Micro-optimizing CPU code when the GPU is the bottleneck (or vice\n  versa) changes nothing. Check the CPU-vs-GPU split first.\n- **Micro-optimizing over algorithm.** Shaving a function when an O(n²) loop or a per-frame\n  full-scene query is the real cost. Reduce the work, don't polish it.\n- **Instantiate/free in hot loops.** Spawning and destroying bullets/particles every frame causes\n  fragmentation and GC spikes. Pool them.\n- **Per-frame allocations / LINQ / boxing in `Update`** (C#) feed the GC → periodic hitches.\n  Cache and reuse.\n- **Draw-call explosion** from unique materials and unbatched sprites/meshes. Atlas, share\n  materials, instance, batch.\n- **Overdraw** from stacked transparents/particles/full-screen effects re-shading pixels.\n- **No budgets.** Without per-subsystem ms and asset ceilings, performance silently regresses;\n  enforce them in your build/CI checks.\n- **Optimizing too early.** Don't contort a prototype for performance before it's fun or measured.\n\n## References\n\n- For per-engine profiler walkthroughs, the CPU-vs-GPU triage flowchart, a complete pooling\n  manager, batching/instancing rules per engine, allocation/GC guidance, LOD/culling, and asset\n  budgets (texture sizes, triangle counts, audio, mobile thermals), read\n  `references/profiling-and-budgets.md`.\n\n## Related skills\n\n- `physics-tuning` — simulation cost, fixed-step budget, sleeping bodies, broadphase layers.\n- `godot-export` — release/build settings that affect measured performance.\n- `procedural-gen`, `game-ai` — common CPU hotspots (generation, pathfinding) to budget and defer.\n- `roguelike`, `tower-defense`, `survival-crafting` — entity-heavy genres that need pooling/budgets.\n","tagline":"Find and fix game performance problems methodically — measure with the engine profiler first, reason about the frame-time budget, locate the CPU-vs-GPU bottleneck, then apply the right fix: object pooling, draw-call batching, fewer allocations/GC spikes, and asset budgets.
