# Objective
allow throttling of gpu uploads to prevent choppy framerate when many
textures/meshes are loaded in.
## Solution
- `RenderAsset`s can implement `byte_len()` which reports their size.
implemented this for `Mesh` and `Image`
- users can add a `RenderAssetBytesPerFrame` which specifies max bytes
to attempt to upload in a frame
- `render_assets::<A>` checks how many bytes have been written before
attempting to upload assets. the limit is a soft cap: assets will be
written until the total has exceeded the cap, to ensure some forward
progress every frame
notes:
- this is a stopgap until we have multiple wgpu queues for proper
streaming of data
- requires #12606
issues
- ~~fonts sometimes only partially upload. i have no clue why, needs to
be fixed~~ fixed now.
- choosing the #bytes is tricky as it should be hardware / framerate
dependent
- many features are not tested (env maps, light probes, etc) - they
won't break unless `RenderAssetBytesPerFrame` is explicitly used though
