+// - The hardware configuration
+// - Version of the project
+// - Additional details about the operation:
+//   - Subtype of operation (png vs svg image, arc vs line...)
+//   - Scale
+//   - Associated effects (patterns, gradients...)

+// of a type that can be performed in each frame while maintaining
+// 50 frames per second. They were estimated using the animometer benchmark.
