Asynchronous Image Loader for Unity

ImageConversion.LoadImage and Texture2D.LoadImage are slow when loading large images (greater than 2K) at runtime.
This package aims to offload image loading, image decoding and mipmap generation to other threads. It creates smoother gameplay and reduces lag spike on the Unity main thread when loading large images.

Optimizing Unity Projects by Removing Additional Cameras

The issue here is not the time it takes to render the actual geometry, but rather the overhead incurred when switching between multiple cameras. Luckily, most cameras can be removed by replacing them with custom render passes.
