    We are building several VR experiences for both PC and Android and even with all of the advised optimisations the sheer number of assets and shaders means build times are really long. Does anybody know what hardware actually makes a difference? Should we go out and buy a thread ripper or can unity even take advantage of that many cores? Does the gpu do anything to help speed up the shader compiler? We have experimented but nothing conclusive would love to hear from anyone that has information.
