Over-estimating latency can cause us to delay the critical paths of
the shader unnecessarily, producing larger QPU programs that take more
time to execute as a result (and it also adds register pressure) so
striking a balance is important. The thread switching model in V3D
is quite effective at hiding latency and usuallly we just need to
hint it to delay TMU instructions a little bit to find the best
compromise for performance.
The new latency numbers have been chosen empirically by testing
V3DV with Sponza and a few UE4 samples.
