19:40 MTDiscord <luatic> It looks like our docs don't mention that use_texture_alpha=blend has serious performance implications, leading to excessive usage by modders
19:45 Krock     do you mean performance in rendering? if so, that's already known due to transparency sorting issues
19:46 Krock     it already existed before, just as a boolean value. Thus I don't think this is a regression or whatsoever
20:35 MTDiscord <luatic> Krock: I mean rendering performance. I know it, other core devs do as well, see e.g. #15115.

20:36 MTDiscord <luatic> That's not what this is about; I'm not claiming there's a regression here.
20:37 MTDiscord <luatic> But modders may very well be unaware if they read our docs that choosing use_texture_alpha = blend may have strong negative implications, and I think that's a problem.
20:38 sfan5     we should document it
20:40 MTDiscord <luatic> Yep that's what I was thinking. I'll open a PR. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing documentation for this elsewhere or anything.
