defaultRenderingPipeline Performance concerns

Will it be a performance issue for the program to destroy existing pipelines and rebuild them all when setting each switch for the default rendering pipeline?

          private _activeCamerasChangedObserver: Nullable<Observer<Scene>> = null;

          

          private _buildPipeline() {

              if (!this._buildAllowed) {

                  return;

              }

              this._scene.autoClear = true;

          

              const engine = this._scene.getEngine();

          

              this._disposePostProcesses();

              if (this._cameras !== null) {

                  this._scene.postProcessRenderPipelineManager.detachCamerasFromRenderPipeline(this._name, this._cameras);

                  // get back cameras to be used to reattach pipeline

                  this._cameras = this._camerasToBeAttached.slice();

              }

              this._reset();

              this._prevPostProcess = null;

              this._prevPrevPostProcess = null;

              this._hasCleared = false;

Is this necessary?

It should not be a problem, as you probably don’t modify the pipeline each frame continuously? Also, not all parameters triggers a rebuild of the pipeline.
