The number of different instances the resizing happened also influences the fragmentation.

sounds good. Can we call it 'resizing factor' then?

Well, I was thinking of just having a limit. So if you load a mesh that's 10k vertices, and it's load factor is 2x, then you can't add more than 20k vertices.

Can you explain a bit more? Do you plan to do a fresh allocation when resizing mesh beyond a certain size to prevent fragmentation?

What do you all think about a mesh load factor? I would like to add one to prevent a range of allocations issues (fragmentation, invalid allocations, etc.) when resizing a mesh. This would be able to be customized by the user of course.
