To make sure the display stays responsive, we've been tracking how changes affect its performance.
## Procedure
Build with `--release`. Test on Chromium with VSCodium, gedit, and the AMDGPU_TOP GUI running, and all other programs closed. In case it matters, keep the display prototype fully visible on the right half of the screen, with the AMDGPU_TOP plots visible on the left half. Start the turntable and then monitor AMDGPU_TOP stats for a minute or so.
