Summary
Memory profile
Release ARC build on Apple M3 Pro, macOS 15.7.9. Three runs per scenario; values are medians. Workload: 1024×768 frame, 1024² atlas, 1024 max quads.
An active blur frame remains at 14.31 MiB in both versions. The benchmark uses
MTLDevice.currentAllocatedSizeand/usr/bin/time -l; its source is intests/bench_metal_memory.nim.Tests
atlas-run tests— 46/46 passed.Threading and GC
No thread or GC configuration changes. The three-frame idle window matches the existing maximum number of in-flight Metal frames.
