[Android] Performance regression when loading a prefab with a lot of child objects using Resources.Load()

Mobile

-

To reproduce:

1.Download and open attached "ResourcesLoadBugReport560p2.zip" project.
2.Build and run on Android device.
3.Open profiler in the editor and connect device.
4.Press "Resources Load" button.
5.Notice a load spike in CPU usage.
6.Inspect it and notice that under BehaviourUpdate | EventSystem.Update() | Loading.ReadObject a process named "Loading.ReadObjectThreaded" takes about 300~700 ms to complete.

Expected result: Load time to be about 40~50 ms.
Actual result: Load time is around 300~700 depending on a device.

Reproduced with: 2017.1.0b2, 5.6.0p3
Not reproduced with : 5.5.3p2, 5.4.5p1

DUT:

Verizon SM G930V (Galaxy S7 Verizon), OS:7.0, CPU:arm64-v8a, GPU:Adreno (TM) 530, Build:Verizon/heroqltevzw/heroqltevzw:7.0/NRD90M/G930VVRU4BQA2:user/release-keys

Sony D6603 (Xperia Z3), OS:6.0.1, CPU:armeabi-v7a, GPU:Adreno (TM) 330, Build:Sony/D6603/D6603:5.1.1/23.4.A.1.264/2418263178:user/release-keys

Samsung SM G361F, OS:5.1.1, CPU:armeabi-v7a, GPU:Vivante GC7000UL, Build:samsung/coreprimeveltexx/coreprimevelte:5.1.1/LMY48B/G361FXXU1APB1:user/release-keys

Notes: On 2017 version, the ms seems to fall to around 100 ms, but this is still 2x slower than in 5.5 or 5.4. Prefab has around 650 child objects

Verified with 2017.2.0b2

    For anyone who hits this, 2017.2 does seem to fix it, but if you can't upgrade then doing a programmatic build using BuildPipeline seems to work around it for some reason for us.

    Still not fixed in 2017.1.2f1 both with Mono and IL2CPP

    Using Unity 2017.1.2.f1 and IL2CPP makes the load time faster but it's still at least 4 times slower than the iOS load time.

    Same here. Tried 2017.1.2f1 and 2017.1.2p2. The issue persists.

    This issue still exists in Unity 2017.1 . I am getting 10-20 secs in loading a single asset. Its a nightmare in android.

    Same here! I am using v2017.1.0p5 and the bug is not fixed. Any idea if future versions fix that?

    I can't vote because this issue is marked as fixed. ¿How can we communicate with Unity so they can reopen this bug?

    This is having a big impact in our release plan.

    Hi Guys! Currently we can't release on Android because of this issue. After two weeks and two programmers we couldn't find a workaround.
    We have submitted a bug to Unity with an example project where we were able to reproduce the problem but we haven't got a response yet.

    Feel free to post your tests/conclusions in this post:

    We are still facing this issue. Its not necessary that have a lot of child objects in our case.
