## Performance limits ## Performance limits
* **Array size.** As of commit `a34fd0f`, the SPHERE_MAX array size seems to affect frame rate a lot, even though we should only be using the first few elements of each array. Not sure whether this is coming from a depth-sorting bug, a memory handling detail, or something else. * **Array size.** As of commit `a34fd0f`, the SPHERE_MAX array size seems to affect frame rate a lot, even though we should only be using the first few elements of each array.

* **Shader variables.** Browsers seem to limit the number of variables that fragment shaders can store. For example, see this [vulnerability report](https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40067239) and [code review](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/angle/angle/+/4503753) for Chromium. This limit doesn't seem to be part of the OpenGL standard, so it's hard to pin down. * **Shader variables.** Browsers seem to limit the number of variables that fragment shaders can store.
