By how much? On which benchmark?

Justin and I had a long conversation this morning about allocation strategies. We should do some more investigation to determine whether the strategy in this patch is acceptable to commit or not.

Talked with Geoff Garen about memory allocation strategies. A vector-like growth model with a minimum size should be fine for now, especially since it appears that shared MTLBuffers have a minimum allocation size (4KB on a tested Mac) way larger than the average argument buffer.

For future, we should free unused argument buffer memory. This requires:
1) Compaction logic before deciding whether to allocate new memory for a new GPUBindGroup, and
2) Defragmentation logic whenever a GPUBindGroup is released. 

I'll file bugs to address these two issues.

[Justin Fan]

To back up my "average argument buffer" size claim, here are some numbers:

Tier 1 Argument Buffer support in Metal on iOS devices is the minimum. Each argument buffer can encode:

31 buffers, which require 32 bytes each (16 bytes for pointer and 16 bytes for size constant)
31 textures, which require 32 bytes each
16 samplers, which require 16 bytes each

And other than the constant data we encode for buffer bounds checking, we don't support encoding extra constant data.

This means each argument buffer we support has a maximum possible encodedLength of 2240 B. A GPUBindGroup uses one argument buffer per pipeline stage type, so for the three of vertex, fragment, and compute, worst case argument buffer size for a single GPUBindGroup is 6720 B.

r=me assuming there are links to follow-up bugs about compaction and shrinking.

don't you mean "shared memory"

> +

Seems like this could benefit from a FIXME with a link to a bug about compaction
