Another tackling perf tip:
- Show a big FPS counter on screen ALL the time.
- Make it a little annoying to turn off.
- Have it turn yellow and then red as the fps drop.
Bonus points: smaller text showing gpu and cpu usage etc. to help easily pinpoint where the issue lies.

On multiple projects I've worked on our approach to tackling performance has been this:
* train QA testers to use the profiler so engineers can focus on bug fixing
* have env artists optimize their assets (no 8k textures for a rock)
* establish hard priority metrics (ex. 0-30 fps = P0, 30-60 = P1)
