     * @performance For best performance, prefer a few collections, each with many billboards, to
     * many collections with only a few billboards each.  Organize collections so that billboards
     * with the same update frequency are in the same collection, i.e., billboards that do not
     * change should be in one collection; billboards that change every frame should be in another
     * collection; and so on.
