WaitForSignal is called right after Update and before LateUpdate when Vulkan GraphicsAPI is used
How to reproduce:
1. Open the user's attached "1304803-WaitForPriorFrame Subscription Point.zip" project
2. Open the Player Settings (Edit > Project Settings... > Player)
3. In the "Other Settings" sections switch Graphics API to "Vulkan"
4. Open the Build Settings (File > Build Settings...)
5. Check "Development Build" and "Autoconnect Profiler"
6. Build And Run the project
7. Switch to the Profiler and select any frame in the CPU Usage Module
8. In the Module details panel switch to view Timeline (top-right of the panel)
Expected results: "WaitForSignal" call is after "Update" and "LateUpdate" calls
Actual results: "WaitForSignal" call is between "Update" and "LateUpdate" calls

Resolution Note:
After some investigation it is clear this is a design issue with the threading model currently in use with the Standalone player on Windows when using Vulkan and DX12. This is a known performance issue and work is planned to come up with a new threading model which should eliminate this problem, however this is likely to ship no earlier than 23.1 and is unlikely to be a candidate for backporting (subject to complexity).
