General Performance Tips

You can follow a few general guidelines to increase the performance of your application.

• Only clear when you must.
• Minimize state changes.
• Use perspective correction only if you must.
• If you can use smaller textures, do so.
• Gracefully degrade special effects that require a disproportionate share of system resources.
• Constantly test your application's performance.
• Ensure that your application runs well both with hardware acceleration and software emulation.
