Vulkan question: when creating multiple pipelines with vkCreateComputePipelines which are all specializations of the same shader code with the same pipeline layout do drivers optimise this better than I could by just submitting each creation to a task on a separate thread?
I'm testing this right now on the hardware & platforms I have, but was wondering if others had wider experience with this.
