What does `Delegate.get_Method()` mean in the profiler?

Hi,

While trying to run a burst compiled job in main thread using job.Run() I see the job is waiting for about 1.6 ms before executing the job (which takes only about 0.01 ms).

I notice that there’s a call to Delegate.get_Method() immediately after the wait before the job is run.

What does this mean?

The snapshot from timeline looks like this:

I’m using 2020.3 and this is being profiled in the target hardware (Android).

(PS: I’m not scheduling the job because I just want to use burst to speed it up a bit. I’m happy with it running in the main thread)

Found it, mscorlib.dll!System::Delegate.get_Method():

As far as I can tell - it’s part of Unity event system. But I’m not sure why it interfered with job execution in your case, might be caused by context switching due to delayed execution maybe, idk.
