Wow, this is so unbelievably unoptimized. The sound of my computer fans makes it so immersive. The shadow map is being rendered twice with 300+ draw calls and 1M+ triangles. Full resolution GTAO is probably even more expensive with a lot of fetches per texel. I'm sure there are a ton of low hanging optimization fruits and I'm confident claude et. al can fix all those issues, but if you don't know where to look and never profile the app then you get a vibe coded unoptimized mess.

  Did the product manager look at this before it was released? We have a lot of work to do here! We need to create a sprint for optimizing it, otherwise no one will like it. Be sure to put the texel fetches in a user story. This should be top priority. Lots of users are very angry.
