Hold frame budgets under real content load

Steps

1. 1Set frame budget per platform (e.g., 16.6ms console / 33ms mobile) day one
2. 2Allocate sub-budgets: rendering, gameplay logic, physics, UI, audio
3. 3Profile weekly on MINIMUM-spec hardware, not dev machines
4. 4Fix the top offender only; re-measure; repeat — no speculative optimization
5. 5Track draw calls, GC spikes, and load times in CI perf snapshots
6. 6Gate releases on budget regressions beyond agreed tolerance

Common Pitfalls

• ▲Smooth on flagship phones, slideshow on median hardware
• ▲GC death spirals from per-frame allocations
