Excerpt

Makepad 2.0 Performance & Debugging Skill

1. Overview

Makepad 2.0 uses a unique rendering pipeline combined with the Splash script VM. Performance depends on understanding three critical subsystems:

Draw Batching - How Makepad groups GPU draw calls and why new_batch: true matters
Garbage Collection - The Splash VM's mark-sweep GC with per-type-bucket thresholds
Render Triggers - The on_render / .render() system that controls when sub-trees rebuild

Unlike traditional retained-mode UI frameworks, Makepad uses an immediate-mode-inspired draw pipeline where widgets emit draw commands into a sorted batch list. Understanding this pipeline is essential for diagnosing invisible text, flickering, and performance regressions.

2. Draw Batching System
