    Hi

    I was trying to improve the performance on my own project and I noticed that in the profiler there was peridic dips in the CPU profiler (that go along with some periodic spikes in Memory and GPU profiling), and after losing my mind a bit I simply checked an empty project and an official unity sample project in which (to my surprise) I noticed the very same behaviour (see screenshots).

    So I´m assuiming this behaviour is normal (please correct me if I´m wrong) but can someone explain it to me, so i can differentiate what is suposed to be there from what is not?

    Thanks in advance.

    I'm also trying to figure out why this happens. Not sure if it is hardware related. I'm using an Nvidia 660 ti GPU.
