 - Direct matrix array manipulation (`instanceMatrix.array`) bypasses expensive Object3D composition and matrix allocations, significantly improving rendering batcher update loops.
+## 2024-04-09 - TSL and GC Performance Rules\n**Learning:** In Three.js, TSL math nodes are generally faster and preferred over updating uniforms via JS every frame for performance optimization. For Three.js InstancedMesh objects, colors must be updated via `.setColorAt()`. Modifying the material directly will incorrectly affect all instances. In Candy World, collision detection handled in JavaScript becomes a severe bottleneck at >500 entities. AssemblyScript/WASM handles 2000+ entities efficiently.\n**Action:** Use TSL math nodes instead of JS uniforms whenever possible. Always use `.setColorAt()` for InstancedMesh colors. Use WASM for heavy collision detection.
