Chunk Iteration in Entities 1.0
The author doesn't mention clearly when to use chunk iteration so here's a little note on this:
Iterating with IJobChunk requires more code setup than using IJobEntity (which generates an IJobChunk under the hood). To automatically benefit from any future source-generation improvements, most jobs that perform a single iteration over a chunk's entities should prefer IJobEntity (optionally implementing the IJobEntityChunkBeginEnd interface as well, for any custom chunk-level operations before and after the core entity iteration loop).
Some examples of use cases which require IJobChunk:
- jobs which do not iterate over each chunk's entities at all (e.g. gathering per-chunk statistics)
- jobs which perform multiple iterations over a chunk's entities, or which iterate in a unusual order
