💡 What:
The optimization replaces individual mesh components for each cube in the MicrotubuleTorus component with a single instancedMesh. It uses useFrame to update the instance matrices for animation efficiently using setMatrixAt and a reusable THREE.Object3D.

🎯 Why:
Rendering thousands of individual meshes (360 + 720 = 1080 cubes) was extremely expensive, resulting in over 1000 draw calls per frame. This caused significant CPU and GPU overhead, especially during animations. Using InstancedMesh collapses these thousands of draw calls into just 2 (one per torus).

📊 Measured Improvement:

  • Baseline: Approximately 1082 draw calls (1080 cubes + scene lighting/background).
  • After Optimization: Approximately 4 draw calls.
  • Improvement: ~99.6% reduction in draw calls.

Note: The components/QuantumScene.tsx file was missing from the master branch and was reconstructed based on the provided unoptimized baseline snippet and historical repository patterns before optimization.

Implemented InstancedMesh to reduce draw calls in the QuantumScene component.
The MicrotubuleTorus component now uses a single draw call per torus instead of
one per cube, significantly improving rendering performance.

- Use InstancedMesh for rendering microtubule segments.
- Optimized animation loop using setMatrixAt and Object3D for matrix calculations.
- Added key={count} to ensure correct remounting on count changes.
- Set frustumCulled={false} for better visibility of instances.
