I'll be honest, ANGLE being so slow it brings Super Monkey Ball to a crawl in release builds is not something I was expecting…

wait fuck I think I wasted an hour of my life waiting for a second debug build to complete and told myself it was a release build. I apologise and shall reserve judgment on ANGLE's performance for the time being

yeah okay, the performance of ANGLE in release builds is fine. it even works with Fastlane, with some hacks ^^

@hikari for Taisei I set up an incredibly cursed GitHub Action that compiles ANGLE and pushes the raw libraries to a git repo

huh okay so Super Monkey Ball does have a small performance issue with ANGLE, even in release builds: when the monkey flies up from the goal after completing a level, it drops like every other frame at 30fps. there's some particle effects, I wonder if that's related…

this is a bit where you don't have control over gameplay so it's not a big deal, but it is annoying, especially for speedrunners (i.e. me)
