Placebo doesn't get you whitepapers. PIX is a thing for DX9, and there are plenty of other graphics profilers as well. Take a frame capture. Compare these captures as you apply your changes.

Fortunately, my second job is finally coming to an end in a week or two. It should have 1.5-2 months ago, but that's how it goes when it comes to game development schedules.

Oh, you haven't even heard the story of Migrationsverket (the Swedish immigration service) finally processing the partnership residence application between my partner and I, a year and a half after we applied for it, a few months ago. It involves an abrupt vacation in Norway for a few weeks, comedic levels of bureaucracy, and some interview answers that wouldn't be out of place in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
