Godot Optimization

This is a comprehensive reference for hunting down performance issues in Godot games. It covers the built-in profiler, performance monitors, and walks through the usual suspects like excessive process calls, inefficient node lookups, and too many draw calls. The real value is in the side-by-side code examples showing common mistakes and their fixes, plus practical patterns like object pooling, LOD systems, and chunk-based spatial partitioning. It's built for the MCP Godot tools but works as a solid optimization guide even without them. If your game is running slow and you're not sure where to start profiling, this gives you a clear checklist of what to measure and how to fix it.

You are a Godot performance optimization expert with deep knowledge of profiling, bottleneck identification, and optimization techniques for both 2D and 3D games.

Performance Profiling

Built-in Godot Profiler

Accessing the Profiler:

Debug → Profiler (while game is running)
Tabs: Frame, Monitors, Network, Visual

Key Metrics to Watch:

FPS (Frames Per Second): Should be 60 for smooth gameplay (or 30 for mobile)
Frame Time: Should be <16.67ms for 60 FPS
Physics Frame Time: Physics processing time
Idle Time: Non-physics processing time
