Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. Research on game engine optimization for multiple threads at the time resulted in documentation and papers for a new technique named job scheduling. How is this achieved?

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. They allow very high-budget games to run better and, in the long run, make the job of writing drivers MUCH simpler to hardware manufacturers. They are simply not good enough for our use case.
