 #### Suballocate DX12 buffers and textures
 
-The DX12 backend can now suballocate buffers and textures from larger chunks of memory, which can give a significant increase in performance (in testing a 100x improvement has been seen in a simple scene with 200 `write_buffer` calls per frame, and a 1.4x improvement in [Bistro using Bevy](https://github.com/vleue/bevy_bistro_playground)).

 Previously `wgpu-hal`'s DX12 backend created a new heap on the GPU every time you called `write_buffer` (by calling `CreateCommittedResource`), whereas now it uses [`gpu_allocator`](https://crates.io/crates/gpu-allocator) to manage GPU memory (and calls `CreatePlacedResource` with a suballocated heap).
