The fonts we embed in Zed binary (Zed Sans & Zed Mono) weigh about 30Mb in total and we are cloning them several times during startup and loading of embedded assets (once explicitly in Zed and then under the hood in font-kit). Moreover, after loading we have at least 2 copies of each font in our program; one in .rdata and the other on the heap for use by font-kit. This commit does away with that distinction (we're no longer allocating the font data) and slightly relaxes the interface of `TextSystem::add_fonts` by expecting one to pass `Cow<[u8]>` instead of `Arc<Vec<u8>>`. Additionally, `AssetSource::get` now returns `Cow<'static, [u8]>` instead of `Cow<'self, [u8]>`; all existing implementations conform with that change. Note that this optimization takes effect only in Release builds, as the library we use for asset embedding - rust-embed - embeds the assets only in Release mode and in Dev builds it simply loads data from disk. Thus it returns `Cow<[u8]>` in it's interface. Therefore, we still copy that memory around in Dev builds, but that's not really an issue. This patch makes no assumptions about the build profile we're running under, that's just an intrinsic property of rust-embed. Tl;dr: this should shave off about 30Mb of memory usage and a fair chunk (~30ms) of startup time. Release Notes: - Improved startup time and memory usage. |
