    When I was creating entities from code, I noticed that AddComponent<T>() that it produces quite large spikes in the Profiler. Turns out that single AddComponent<TrailRenderer> takes 0.80ms to execute and leaves behind 3.5 KB of data to be GC'd.

    What is it doing? It shouldn't even require Reflection to function as far I know.
