When your simulation scales badly, adding content pushes you straight into a frame-time cliff. This module shows you exactly how that bottleneck grows and how to break it without hand-wavy advice.
You follow the full iteration path: naive behavior updates, ECS restructuring, Jobs + Burst acceleration, and spatial partitioning for neighbor checks that otherwise explode in cost. You see why memory layout and work distribution matter more than clever one-off hacks.
The proof frame is concrete progression: heavy per-frame cost in the baseline, major reductions after ECS plus Jobs/Burst, then higher-entity scaling with partitioning and benchmark validation. The module keeps comparisons grounded so you can replicate the reasoning, not copy code blindly.
Your next dev step: capture a baseline profiler trace for your hottest system, implement one scaling iteration, and compare frame time plus element count ceiling before moving to the next optimization step.
CEO/Producer translation: better CPU scaling protects feature scope and keeps performance risk from exploding late in production.
Unlock the CPU Scaling module now and turn your optimization path into repeatable, benchmarked progress.
