Caching the AnimToTexture Data Asset to double vertex anim processor performance

[Voyager0001]

not calling LoadSynchronous() for every entity every frame and instead calling it once every chunk increases performance from 20 to 35 fps for 20k entities for me

So something like

UAnimToTextureDataAsset* CachedAsset = nullptr;
TSoftObjectPtr<UAnimToTextureDataAsset> CachedSoftAsset;
TMap<int32, FAnimToTextureAutoPlayData> PlayDataCache;

for (int EntityIdx = 0; EntityIdx < NumEntities; EntityIdx++)


if (VertexAnimInfoFragment.AnimToTextureData != CachedSoftAsset)
{
				CachedSoftAsset = VertexAnimInfoFragment.AnimToTextureData;
				CachedAsset = CachedSoftAsset.LoadSynchronous();
				PlayDataCache.Reset();
}

if (CachedAsset)
{
				FAnimToTextureAutoPlayData* PlayDataPtr = PlayDataCache.Find(AnimIndex);
				if (!PlayDataPtr)
				{
								FAnimToTextureAutoPlayData NewPlayData;
								if (UAnimToTextureInstancePlaybackLibrary::GetAutoPlayDataFromDataAsset(CachedAsset, AnimIndex, NewPlayData))
								{
									PlayDataPtr = &PlayDataCache.Add(VertexAnimInfoFragment.AnimationStateIndex, NewPlayData);
								}
				}

				if (PlayDataPtr)
				{
								ISMInfo.AddBatchedCustomData<FAnimToTextureAutoPlayData>(*PlayDataPtr, RepresentationLODFragment.LODSignificance, RepresentationFragment.PrevLODSignificance, 0);
				}```


Cheers!

Making the data asset a const shared fragment and loading it once gets me to 40fps ^^
