Startup Time

Loading Data 
 Asset Tool can be used to partition an asset for a startup scene in a faster flash memory. 
 An another option would be to load a small startup scene and use asynchronous asset loading to load next scene in background. 
 Loading a lot of data at startup is generally a bad idea. Distribute loading tasks over time. 
 Also avoid to copy the whole asset from NAND flash to RAM. A better solution would be to implement a paging and caching mechanism using a custom Asset Repository. 
 Persist Pre-compiled Shaders 
 Use this feature by enabling CANDERA_SHADER_PROGRAM_PERSIST_INTERFACE_ENABLED flag in the CMake project. 
 Scope Masks 
 Upload data to VRAM using Scope Masks as presented in the documentation and in the example . 
 Startup Animation 
 Here are some hints for the startup animation: 
 
 
 
 Avoid large images 
 Use image compression 
 Restrict the frame rate (e.g. 30 fps) 
 Realize a flipbook startup animation with asynchronous image fetching
