Resolution Note:
In this case the user assigns the contents of an image to a public byte array in Start() which will generate hundreds of thousands of UI Elements to display it in the inspector. This is very expensive and can be avoided by making the byte array private or by using [HideInInspector] attribute. In this particular case I would recommend making this private because there is no reason to serialize a value that is always overwritten in Start().
