[Occlusion culling] Performance spike in Culling when Camera is not rendering every frame
Reproduction steps:
1. Download and open the repro project form the attached link
2. Open and play the "CorridorDemo" scene (Assets\Scenes)
3. Check in the profiler, that ever 2 seconds, when FakeCamera calls to Render function, it shows a performance spike on Culling call
Note:
- When on "FakeCamera" Culling Mask is set only to "water" layer there aren't any spikes. Spikes are about from 5 ms to 18 ms.
- This culling spike problem relates to realtime reflection probes as well. Performance spikes are higher about 10 ms when realtime reflection probe (set to render all elements) is rendered faster than every 0.5 s.

Occurs in Unity 5.5.0p3.
And the cpu consume is always high.

I'm getting spikes that drop CPU below 30FPS Unity 5.3.4f1 (64 - bit) In profiler found under Camera.Render->Culling->SceneCulling.
Also off subject slightly, Canvas.Buildbatch for the UI develops these game stopping spikes.
I've only just noticed these today as i've been waiting for Unity 5.3.5 to be released;I've been told this version will fix the Physics spikes that lag the hell out of my game.
There sure are a lot of bugs

This issue still persists on Unity version 5.3.2p3.
Culling is frequently spiking above 90ms which is constantly stalling our game.

There is a long thread about this, it seems to be a more general threading problem, where "WaitingForJobs" is causing occasional hangs.

And yes it happens in an empty scene too. See my comment here:

Look if you find them in an empty scene.
