Memory Residency Management

Asset streaming should also be connected to predictable RAM and VRAM budgets.

Possible monitoring:

Current usage

Reserved budget

Streaming reserve

Emergency reserve

The engine could maintain a small safety margin instead of allowing memory pools to operate constantly near maximum capacity.

This could reduce emergency evictions and sudden streaming stalls.

Useful telemetry

Track:

Residency pressure

Eviction frequency

Re-stream frequency

Memory fragmentation

Allocation spikes

Temporary buffer growth

Repeatedly evicting and reloading the same assets may indicate an inefficient residency strategy.
