CPU cost of render canvas for moving world-space UI is too high in 2017
How to reproduce:
1. Download attached project file and open "test" Scene
2. Open Profiler and enter Play Mode
3. Watch cost of UIEvents.WillRenderCanvases in 2017
4. Watch cost of Canvas.BuildBatch in 5.6
Actual result: The CPU cost of moving world space UGUI render canvas is much higher in 2017 than 5.6.4, nearly doubled.

Backport into 2017 LTS at some point would be nice

We're seeing this on 2017.3.0p3 as well. The high CPU cost is a real problem for our game and causing serious framerate issues whenever we move the camera.

This problem is especially apparent on iOS. Unfortunately, the performance drop is significant enough to stop our upgrading to 2017.
