Unity's "Sprite/Default" shader is TRASH. Using "TextMeshPro/Sprite" gave a MAJOR FPS boost! Why?

    I've been struggling to get my simple 2D game to run at 60 FPS on some devices, and while all else seemed to be failing, I tried messing around with my sprite material's shader. I switched it from Unity's "Sprites Default" shader to use Text Mesh Pro's "Sprite" shader instead. This got rid of my 30 FPS problem entirely and now the game is running at 60 FPS on those devices.



    My question is, can I optimize this even further? Is there a more optimal shader I can use than just using TMP's Sprite shader? My sprites have transparency.



    Thanks for your time and help!
