    Hello,

    For some reason I'm experiencing a big lag (~1/2 sec) when my VFX Graphs show for the first time in-game.
    This is pretty weird and only happens the first time they are (seemingly) loaded into memory (I'm guessing GPU's). I'm saying that because it doesn't happen if I unload the scene and reload it agian, only if I reboot the game (or editor).

    Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

    The graph is not particularly complicated, 11 nodes at most. And it only appears 3/4 times on screen. They are already present in the scene, nothing fancy just set to 
    .enabled = false
    and then 
    .enabled = true
    when they should start. I tried to change the culling flags but it didn't change this issue, the lag spike just didn't happen at the same moment, but would still occur.

    I'm on HDRP 10.2 and Unity 2020.2.0b13, is that why this is happening?
