Details

(Whiteboard: wr-android)

Cached shaders not in the "startup shaders" list currently get loaded from disk on demand during rendering. We could instead load them in to memory in a background thread. Attempting to call glProgramBinary() on them in the background might be a step too far (dealing with multiple contexts with shared state might not end well), but just having them in memory will help avoid disk IO during rendering.
