Repro steps:

3. Enter play mode
4. Open the Profiler window and observe the memory
5. Press pause and switch to the scene view
6. Unpause
7. Observe the memory usage increasing dramatically (video attached).

    Is this fixed in release 2018.3.3f1?
    We are having a similar problem on Hololens when tracking is lost. Memory will spike and sometimes crash if particle systems are present, when tracking is lost, even if the gameobjects they were on have been destroyed.
