UpdateDepthTexture smashing performance...

Hi all,

Sorry if this is considered a double post, but it's hard to pick which section to post these questions sometimes.
After searching a lottt, it seems others are having the same problem and I haven't found any explanations/solutions.
In a nutshell, anything that signals to Unity that it needs to access the depth buffer, starts the 'UpdateDepthTexture / UpdateDepthNormalsTexture' processes which absolutely smash! performance as mentioned in the thread below.

Thanks for your time,
