LWRP constantly creating several KB of garbage per frame

    So I was profiling a test project and noticed GC Allocs on "RenderPipelineManager.DoRenderLoop_Internal()"

    Just to be sure I created a new LWRP project (Unity 2019.1.5) and just run the Sample Scene. And yes, I'm having 3.6 KB of garbage generated every frame.

    Furthermore "ScriptableRuntimeReflectionSystemWrapper.Internal_ScriptableRuntimeReflectionSystemWrapper_TickRealtimeProbes()" is generating 40 B per frame.

    And sure enough, spikes ocur every now and then... Again, this is a brand new project, running the Sample Scene.

    I assume this is a bug of LWRP? For something that is "production ready" this seems like an issue...

    Here's a screenshot of the profiler:

    As you can see it's definetly a LWRP problem. It doesn't seem to be much, but just in a few seconds you end up with MB of garbage which will prompt the GC collector and stuttering

    What version of SRP and LWRP are you using?

    I think they fixed this in LWRP 7.0+ version, mostly.

    Looks like this is back in URP 7.1.8 and now does 251.7kb per frame, consistently.

    Interesting!
    I'm running the URP Template Scene with 7.1.8 and not seeing any garbage being created.

    Can you file a bug with a repro so I can take a look?

    With URP 7.2.1, in the URP sample scene, adding a 2D renderer, setting the main camera to use it and adding a single 2D point light causes about 36B to be allocated per frame. It seems the more lights, the more garbage is created.

    I didn't change any materials to use Sprite-Lit-Default.

    This causes noticeable spikes when running a 2D game with 2D lighting.

    Edit: Running Unity 2020.1.0a23 for this test, but it also happens using 2019.3.2f1.
    Overall, performance is quite a bit better in 0a23 though.
