// respected, and internally the object will be drawn using the graphics API.
// Objects added to the screen will have Draw() called in the order they were added.
//
// However, the draw order can also cause performance problems.
// In general, it's best to draw front to back, this means draw the objects closest to the screen first.
//
// This way, the objects at the back will be drawing behind the objects already drawn.
// Modern video cards can quickly discard pixels if they are 'behind' what is already drawn.
// Without front-to-back, the objects at the front could be drawing *over* objects already drawn.
//
// This is known as overdraw, a case where an object is drawn, only to be 'overdrawn' later in the frame.
// Reducing overdraw can help performance, especially when complex shaders are used.
//
// In this example, the sample is usually vertex-limited (that is, the bottleneck is vertex processing)
// However, it can demonstrate how optimizing for overdraw can significantly reduce the number of pixels
// that are shaded.
//
// In debug builds, the DrawStatisticsDisplay class will show the number of pixels drawn in the frame.
//
// With overdraw optimized draw order, ~1,000,000 pixels are drawn per frame. Without, upto 2,100,000
// pixels are drawn per frame (usually ~1,800,000). (A 1280x720 display has 921,600 pixels)
//
// This means that without an overdraw optimized draw order, on average, each pixel is being drawn
// twice. With an optimized draw order, this number is closer to 1.1, which is very close to the
// optimal value of 1.0 (where each pixel is only drawn once).
//
// Note that the number of pixels reported by the DrawStatisticsDisplay is for the entire frame, including
// every render target. Some PCs may not support this value, and display -1.
//
// One last point....
// This sample is an extreme test of a GPU's ability to push triangles onto the screen (vertex/triangle rate).
// However, observation will show the number of triangles drawn is often over 3,300,000!
// Assuming half the triangles are back-face culled (an accurate approximation), this still means
// there are around 1,650,000 triangles that are visible at any time.
// (But remember, the vertex shader still runs for back facing triangles!)
//
// Assuming approximatly half of these triangles are depth occluded (very approximate), still
// results in a huge number of visible triangles.
// This all means that the average triangle is drawing a *very* small number of pixels, in this case,
// the average for the actors is probably *less than 1 pixel per triangle!*.
//
// Triangles averaging less than 1 pixel are known as subpixel triangles.
// For a number of reasons, subpixel triangles are very inefficent.
// For example, if a single pixel is drawn, due to the way a video card works, the pixel shader will always
// run in multiples of 4 pixels, so a single pixel triangle will still run the pixel shader 4 times.
//
// As an approximate rule:
// Typically drawing a 1 pixel triangle will be as no faster than drawing a 16 pixel triangle.
//
// This makes this sample a perfect candidate for level of detail optimization, where a lower resolution
// model is used as an actor gets further away from the screen. (Eg, two modelInstances, sharing a controller)
//
// The vertex shader is also very expensive, and for each triangle, it will be run upto 3 times.
// This means the vertex shader is running more often than the pixel shader!
// This hypothesis can be confirmed; setting the lights to per-vertex, instead of per-pixel, results
// in a significantly *lower* frame rate!
//

//In this case (on the Xbox), because the application is heavily vertex limited
//and already heavily CPU stretched by the animation system, the cost of
//sorting the actors actually causes a larger performance hit on the CPU than
//the time saved on the GPU. This inballance causes a frame rate drop.
//
//However, the reason for this may be unexpected.
//The framerate drop is not caused by the overhead of sorting the actors.
//
//Any 3D API calls made are doubly expensive on the XBOX, so in order to
//maintain 20fps in this sample, the primary (rendering) thread must not
//block, or switch to task processing.
//If it does so, valuable rendering time is lost.
//
//When using a sorter, the actors are drawn in an order that is constantly changing.
//However, they always have Update() called in a consistent order.
//
//During Update() the actors animation controllers will spawn thread tasks to
//process their animation.
//
//These tasks are processed on the spare xbox hardware threads, they are
//processed in the order they were added.
//Processing the animation usually completes before the rendering finishes.
//(the rendering is not delayed waiting for the animation to finish).
//
//However, when sorting the actors get drawn in an unpredictable order,
//this means the last actor added could be the first actor to draw,
//in such a case, the chances of it's animation processing having completed
//is *very* low. When this happens, the rendering thread has to switch to
//processing animations, delaying rendering.
//
//So, for the xbox, in this sample it's best just to draw in the update order.
