- Refactored PerfTimer to use less memory.
- Avoid using the PerfTimer in highly called methods DoTimed and RunActivity, instead tracking long ticks manually to reduce overhead and avoid memory allocations.
- Added some helper methods in PerfTimer to output information when a tick takes too long.
- Changed PerfTimer logging to output the time at the start of the line, and no longer truncate output per line.
- Settings.LongTickThreshold changed from TimeSpan to float and renamed to LongTickThresholdMs.
- Made private methods static where possible (runtime can elide checking the object for null).
- Declared attribute classes as sealed (allows reflection on attributes to complete faster).
- Moved some static cctor's into field initializers (static cctor's are slower than static field initializers).
- Made classes static if they contained only static methods (can't create instances of useless objects).
- Use inferable Exts.Lazy and not new Lazy<T>().
- Added required STAThread attribute to CrashDialog.
- Removed unused parameters in private methods.
- Added Serializable attribute to exceptions.
- Added parameter name in calls to ArgumentNullException.
- Use of as operator instead of is + cast.
- Changed (x as Foo).Bar anti-pattern into ((Foo)x).Bar. Results in sensible cast exceptions on error rather than null dereferences.
- Removed unused method in NullShader.
This is useful to ignore fast operations that just spam the log.
The class had to be reworked because it couldn't properly handle cases
where all of a node's children where below the threshold.
Also changed DoTimed() and RunActivity() to use PerfTimer.
Slightly modified the Log class to allow dummy channels that don't
write anywhere, then use it on Lint because map loading writes to
the "perf" channel.
