    In my semi-noobish game, I notice in the profiler in the editor, that Physics.Simulate is taking up 16% of the total CPU usage in my program. Is there any way to disable everything involving physics, perhaps at runtime via C#?

    I do not have any physics related objects in the game, nor any colliders for buttons etc.

    Set the fixed timestep in the time manager as high as possible so that physics doesn't run very often.

    Make the game run faster and waste even more CPU? Is that really a solution? :)
