Profiler causing giant hiccups for no reason

    Hi!

    Recently, I've run into an issue where Profiler.FinalizeAndSendFrame is taking insane amounts of resources. For example:
    upload_2017-8-31_14-46-43.png

    This seems to happen randomly and started only today, so I'm very confused.

    Is there any workaround this, besides turning off the Profiler?

    I dunno about this slowdown specifically, but it’s normal for the profiler to cause a significant framerate reduction. If I had to guess, it’s because you have the Rendering panel open - it probably has to pause the GPU and wait for it to send data for it to profile. Sending data from GPU to CPU is always a slow process for both.
