    Still no fix for 2020. So now I have the choice of using a 2020 version with this huge performance hit bug, or 2021 which is entirely a buggy mess itself. Terrible.

    Is there any chance this can be back ported to 2019.4 LTS, I am currently near the end of my project and this issue is still present in the LTS versions of Unity.
