Editor loop is out of control

I thought this was a memory leak at first - still might be. But the Editor Loop swells after less than 45 seconds of gameplay and grinds the whole thing down to single-digit FPS. This is just with the camera running - I’m not even providing any inputs.

This is a consistent problem that happens all the time, since I first reported it and the details on this thread: Really awful editor memory leak?

What is causing this behavior? I don’t think it’s a custom editor script as I’m not using any (to my knowledge). All my packages are up to date. Already tried a clean reinstall - no luck. Unity is currently completely unusable in this state.

Does it happen in a fresh project?

If not, then you’re probably going to have to divide and conquer. Make a fresh project, and introduce each section of your own project into it until the issue emerges.

This happens on both new and existing projects.
