    Does loading the same asset multiple times from the same bundle result in wasted memory?

    For assets, it will see it is already loaded and not load it again. For scenes, it depends on if you used Additive loading or not.

    Prefabs don't exist at runtime, they are treated as just standard assets so those same conditions apply.
