When I click on any non-gameobject item in the project view (e.g. script file, asmdef, …) to see it inside the Inspector tab, CPU & GPU utilization is very high. On my machine (Laptop with i7-4710HQ, NVidia GTX 860M), load is at 30% (CPU) and 50% (GPU) from basically idle. It returns to idle when I deselect the item (empty Inspector view).
[2020.2.0b11]
I also got the same error in 2020.2.0b11 and 2020.2.0b12
Hi,
Could you please submit a bug report for this issue with reproduction steps attached? Does it happen in a new project as well?
I submitted a bug report on 11/16 Case 1292911

Steps to reproduce:
- Create new project
- Select “Scenes” Folder in the Project Tab (not in the Directory tree view, but the Scenes icon in the Assets directory)
Initially GPU jumps to around 50%, then goes down to 25-30%, CPU goes up to 25%+ within 1-2s and stays there.
Seems like the commenter above has already submitted the same bug, so I don’t add a duplicate.
I saw noticeably lower framerates when an asset is selected.
It also affects the Properties window.
I assume this is the cause of the performance issue – good find.
Thanks for the additional information everybody. We already have a fix for this coming in b13.
