iris/tests/draw_cost.rs

//! What one frame of `UiRenderNode::draw` costs on the CPU, against the number
//! of layers it walks. Recording only: the pass is built and dropped without
//! being submitted, so this is the loop's cost and not the GPU's.
//!
//!     cargo test --release --test draw_cost -- --ignored --nocapture
//!
//! **Read the instruction count, not the clock.** Wall time here swings by 2x
//! between runs of one binary on this machine -- more under `cargo test` than
//! run directly -- while instructions retired are stable to 0.1%:
//!
//!     perf stat -e instructions:u target/release/.../draw_cost-* --ignored
//!
//! Measured that way on 2026-09-13, drawing each primitive through its own
//! `PrimitiveRender` rather than a match in the renderer costs **6
//! instructions per list drawn**, which is 0.1% of a frame at both 256 and
//! 1024 layers. Recording one list into the pass costs wgpu ~5,400.
//!
//! The instance is leaked on purpose. Dropping the last one makes the Vulkan
//! loader unload Mesa's ICD, which faults when a thread that touched Vulkan
//! exits -- and libtest runs every test on a spawned thread.
