### 1. The Skia Shader Compilation Jank Problem 👾

Legacy Skia engine runtime par GPU shader code compile karta tha jab pehli baar koi animation/blur screen par appear hoti thi $\rightarrow$ **First-run Shader Compilation Jank (Frame freeze for 100ms)!**

---

### 2. Impeller Architecture (Ahead-of-Time Shaders 🚀)

Flutter ka modern custom rendering engine (iOS Metal & Android Vulkan):
*   **AOT Shader Compilation:** Saare GPU shaders build time (`flutter build`) par hi binary machine code me compile ho jaate hain!
*   **Zero Shader Jank:** Pehli animation bhi flawless **120 FPS** par render hoti hai!

### 4. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **Impeller tesselation technique me kya optimize karta hai?** -> Complex vector paths aur curves ko triangles mesh me CPU par pre-compute karta hai taaki GPU effortlessly render kar sake.
2. **Impeller iOS par default kab se bana?** -> Flutter 3.10 se iOS par Impeller 100% default rendering engine hai.
3. **`--enable-impeller` flag kaise verify kiya jata hai?** -> DevTools performance overlay me "Engine: Impeller" badge check karke.
