Linear O(n) viewport culling was benchmarked against real-world SVG fixtures (up to 300K nodes). It regresses 8-13% on dense scenes where most nodes are visible. Updated optimization.md item 12 to note spatial index requirement.

Walkthrough

Two documentation files are added/updated to report investigation results for viewport culling optimization. A new investigation document details findings from benchmarking camera value caching and linear viewport culling, concluding that linear culling without spatial indexing regresses performance. An existing optimization guide is updated with a warning emphasizing that spatial indexing (R-tree) is required for viewport culling.

Per items 6, 12, and 36 in `optimization.md`:

- **Spatial index** (R-tree/quadtree, item 36) would make culling O(log n) instead of O(n)

P2 Badge Correct the cross-references to optimization.md items

The recommendation block points readers to the wrong follow-up work: in optimization.md, item 12 is Tight Bounds for save_layer Operations and item 36 is Scene Planner & Scheduler, while the spatial-index entry is item 38. Because this section is explicitly telling implementers what to pursue next, these misnumbered references will send follow-up work to unrelated optimizations instead of the intended spatial-index and SkPicture-caching sections.
