Performance issue when creating corpse

Hi im creating a game that when you kill an enemy i leave a corpse laying on the floor.

Basically what i am doing right now is disabling the main gameobject and leaving a copy behind with only a spriterenderer and has nothing else, but i was wondering if it was better to leave the original gameobject but disabling only it's scripts/extra components?

I have object pooling for both units / copies and when an unit is killed i would just reference its sprite from the spriterenderer and set it to the copy, seems fine at first then i see a fps drop.

Also i have dspalette plugin for both unit and copies... disabling it helped a little, but i dont want to get rid of the component as it cost me money :C.

If anybody has any ideas how i could achieve a performance enhancement, it will be greatly appreciated.

 

Just want to make sure the FPS drop is from the corpses. If you destroy/pool all of them, does the frame rate go back up?

How many corpses are there? I wouldn't think a few dozen or even a hundred would really have much impact if they're just SpriteRenderer's, unless perhaps they're all on screen.

 

One of the funniest thread titles I've seen ;-D

 

@imaginaryhuman i thought the same thing after i wrote it XD
@Hyblademin well i made a test, since i had Dspalette on my main characters for color variation, i had to add it to the "corpse" copy so the unit and corpse colors matched, i removed the plugin completely and my fps went up to 60 on mobile it was runing at 40 ~ 50 and dropping to 20.
I think i might be able to pull it off just deactivating scripts and components on the unit that "died" and just reactivating it when i pool it, will test
