 - Shader disk reads in play: a draw's shader that is in the disk cache but not in memory is read on the render thread
   within a budget of 1/8 of the wall time (2 ms at once), and past it by three loader threads while its draws are
   skipped as for a translation (`runtime/gfx_shader.c` `load_budget`). Opening a loose file is what costs (5.6 ms a
