- Added critical logging for graphics buffer management in LoadAllGraphicsData to prevent data corruption during ROM loads.
- Updated logging levels from INFO to DEBUG across various components for consistency and to reduce log verbosity.
- Refactored texture creation and palette application logic to allow editors to manage their own rendering, improving flexibility and user experience.
- Improved background buffer handling to ensure fresh bitmap creation only when necessary, optimizing performance.
- Enhanced debugging output for canvas and performance tracking, aiding in better diagnostics during development.
- Merged the old PerformanceMonitor interface into gfx::PerformanceProfiler, providing a unified performance monitoring system.
- Updated header files to maintain backward compatibility with aliases for PerformanceMonitor and ScopedTimer.
- Removed legacy timer methods and integrated memory pool for efficient data handling in performance profiling.
- Enhanced PerformanceDashboard to utilize the new profiler, including controls for enabling monitoring and clearing data.
- Improved performance reporting with detailed statistics and memory usage insights.
- 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.
