Enhance performance profiling and tile caching mechanisms

- Introduced a new PerformanceProfiler class for detailed timing and performance measurement across graphics operations. - Implemented a smart tile cache with LRU eviction in the TileCache structure to optimize memory usage and improve tile rendering efficiency. - Updated various graphics components to utilize the new caching system, reducing redundant texture updates and enhancing overall performance. - Added dirty region tracking in Bitmap for efficient texture updates, minimizing the area that needs to be refreshed during rendering. - Enhanced existing methods to leverage performance monitoring, providing insights into operation durations and potential bottlenecks.

+ * The PerformanceProfiler class provides comprehensive timing and performance

+ * times, calculates statistics, and provides detailed performance reports.
+ * 
+ * Key Features:
+ * - High-resolution timing for microsecond precision
+ * - Automatic statistics calculation (min, max, average, median)
+ * - Operation grouping and categorization
+ * - Memory usage tracking
+ * - Performance regression detection
+ * 
+ * Performance Optimizations:
+ * - Minimal overhead timing measurements
+ * - Efficient data structures for fast lookups
+ * - Configurable sampling rates
+ * - Automatic cleanup of old measurements
+ * 
+ * Usage Examples:
+ * - Measure palette lookup performance improvements
+ * - Track texture update efficiency gains
+ * - Monitor memory usage patterns
+ * - Detect performance regressions
