Preprocessing Bottleneck Hiding GPU Capacity

When preprocessing time dominates total request latency, the GPU remains idle or underutilized while waiting for CPU-bound input preparation. This is a common anti-pattern where expensive preprocessing (image decoding, tokenization, normalization) limits the benefits of GPU acceleration. The GPU's compute capacity is wasted waiting for inputs.
