Add two complementary render caches that make mouse navigation essentially free regardless of file size: Option A – Wire tessellation cache: entity_wires_arc() caches the tessellated Vec<WireModel> keyed by geometry_epoch and returns an Arc, so navigation frames (no preview wires) incur zero Vec clones and zero tessellation work. Primitive::wires changed to Arc<Vec<WireModel>>. Option B – GPU buffer cache: Pipeline stores cached_epoch; prepare() skips all upload_wires/hatches/images/meshes calls when the epoch is unchanged, writing only the 192-byte camera uniform instead. geometry_epoch is a process-wide AtomicU64 incremented by every Scene mutation (add/erase entity, selection, layer visibility, layout switch, populate_*, grip, transform, copy, clear, preview wires). Using a global counter rather than a per-scene counter prevents two tabs that happen to have the same local bump count from sharing a cached_epoch value, which was causing the first file's geometry to remain on screen after opening a second file.

# Performance Optimization Plan
|
||
|
||
## Problem
|
||
|
||
The application lags severely when large files are open — even simple mouse movement causes noticeable frame drops.
|
||
|
||
### Root Cause
|
||
|
||
Every frame (triggered by any mouse event), Iced calls `shader::Program::draw()` → `build_primitive()`.
|
||
This function:
|
||
|
||
1. **Re-tessellates every entity from scratch** — `wires_for_block()` iterates all document entities and calls `tessellate_one()` for each, every single frame.
|
||
2. **Recreates all GPU buffers** — `prepare()` calls `upload_wires/hatches/images/meshes()`, each of which allocates new `wgpu::Buffer` objects for every entity, every frame.
|
||
3. **Linear-scans all objects** to find `SortEntitiesTable` on every frame.
|
||
|
||
During pure mouse navigation (pan/zoom), nothing in the geometry data changes — only the camera matrix (uniforms) changes. Despite this, all work above is repeated for every mouse-move event.
|
||

||
|
||
## Option A — Wire Tessellation Cache ✅ Implemented
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Done
|
||
|
||
Added `wire_cache: RefCell<Option<(u64, Arc<Vec<WireModel>>)>>` to `Scene`.
|
||
`entity_wires_arc()` checks the cache first; if `geometry_epoch` matches it returns the cached
|
||
`Arc` (O(1) refcount bump). On a cache miss it tessellates, wraps the result in `Arc`, stores it,
|
||
and returns a clone of the `Arc`.
|
||
|
||
`build_primitive()` uses `entity_wires_arc()` directly:
|
||
- **No preview wires (navigation):** stores the Arc as-is — zero Vec clones, zero tessellation.
|
||
- **Command active (preview wires present):** clones the cached entity Vec once, appends
|
||
preview/interim wires, wraps in a new Arc — only one allocation instead of full tessellation.
|
||
|
||
`Primitive::wires` changed from `Vec<WireModel>` to `Arc<Vec<WireModel>>`.
|
||
|
||
**Impact:** During navigation in large files the per-frame cost of the wire step drops from
|
||
O(entities × tessellation) to O(1). Combined with Option B the GPU upload is also skipped,
|
||
making navigation frames nearly free regardless of file size.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Option B — GPU Buffer Cache ✅ Implemented
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Done
|
||
|
||
Add a `geometry_epoch: u64` counter to `Scene`. Bump it whenever geometry-affecting state changes.
|
||
Carry the epoch through `Primitive` to `Pipeline`, which stores `cached_epoch: u64`.
|
||
|
||
In `prepare()`:
|
||
- **Always** upload uniforms (camera changes every frame).
|
||
- **Skip** geometry buffer uploads (`upload_wires/hatches/images/meshes`) when `geometry_epoch == cached_epoch`.
|
||
- After uploading, set `pipeline.cached_epoch = geometry_epoch`.
|
||
|
||
**Impact:** During navigation, only a single 192-byte uniform write reaches the GPU instead of
|
||
re-creating thousands of buffers. Fixes mouse-movement lag in large files.
|
||
|
||
**Difficulty:** Medium. Requires bumping the epoch in all geometry-mutation paths.
|
||
|
||
### Epoch bump locations
|
||
|
||
| Method | Location |
|
||
|--------|----------|
|
||
| `add_entity()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `erase_entities()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `populate_hatches_from_document()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `populate_images_from_document()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `populate_meshes_from_document()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `set_preview_wires()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `clear_preview_wire()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `set_interim_wire()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `select_entity()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `deselect_all()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `expand_selection_for_groups()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `toggle_layer_visibility()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `transform_entities()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `copy_entities()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `apply_grip()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|
||
| `clear()` | `scene/mod.rs` |
|

|
||
|
||
## Option C — Parallel Tessellation (Rayon)
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Planned
|
||
|
||
Replace the sequential `.flat_map(|e| self.tessellate_one(e))` chain in `wires_for_block()` with
|
||
`rayon::par_iter()`.
|
||
|
||
**Impact:** Spreads tessellation across all CPU cores. Improves file-open time and post-edit
|
||
refresh. Does **not** fix per-frame navigation lag (Option A/B address that).
|
||
|
||
**Difficulty:** Easy. Requires making `tessellate_one` free of interior mutability, or collecting
|
||
into a Vec first then parallel-processing.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Option D — Frustum / Viewport Culling
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Planned
|
||
|
||
Build a spatial index (R-tree or uniform grid) over entity bounding boxes.
|
||
During `wires_for_block()`, skip entities whose bounding box lies entirely outside the camera frustum.
|
||
|
||
**Impact:** Dramatic speedup for large drawings when zoomed in — only visible entities are
|
||
tessellated and uploaded. No benefit when the full drawing is visible.
|
||
|
||
**Difficulty:** Hard. Requires maintaining an up-to-date spatial index and computing per-entity
|
||
bounding boxes for all entity types.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Option E — SortEntitiesTable Scan Cache
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Planned
|
||
|
||
Cache the result of the `SortEntitiesTable` lookup that currently performs a linear scan over all
|
||
objects on every `wires_for_block()` call.
|
||
|
||
**Impact:** Minor. Removes one O(objects) scan per frame. Low priority compared to A–D.
|
||
|
||
**Difficulty:** Easy.
