    If I am doing work in a system that does not require multiple threads, is it more efficient to use Job.ScheduleSingle in a JobComponentSystem, or should I use Job.Run in a ComponentSystem?

    ScheduleSingle will still run the code in a seperate thread that's (usually) not the main so it's going to be more efficient. It's just only run on a single thread instead of splitting it over multiple.

    So yeah you should use ScheduleSingle. I think run should only really be used for debugging purposes.
