Making descriptors smaller would help, but the most likely cause of a cache
miss is accessing two objects located far apart in memory. Reading data
from a descriptor and then other data via a view pointer creates this
situation. I made a new version of the cache coherence patch which
eliminates use of vkd3d_view for CBV, SRV and UAV descriptors and only
stores a refcount on the heap, but haven't sent it because it conflicts
with a pending patch. It only gains 0.5% fps, so if new implementations
need an expanded view struct instead then that takes precedence. CPU
caching is worth taking into account though.
