Baseline Naive Spawn & Destroy

Built the unoptimized pass that spawns a box per belt on a cooldown, slides it down, Destroys it at the end, and calls FindObjectOfType to relocate the spawner every time - a deliberately wasteful baseline to profile against. BoxSpawner.cs

Pooling Prewarmed Object Pool

Built a pool that prewarms hidden boxes at startup, hands one out on each spawn, and returns spent boxes by disabling them instead of destroying them, so steady-state spawning stops allocating and feeding the garbage collector. OptimizationBoxSpawner.cs

Reuse Hide Instead of Destroy

Made a pooled box disable its mesh renderer and its own update when it retires and switch them back on when reused, so the same object cycles down the belt over and over without being instantiated or collected again. OptimizationBox.cs

Caching Cached Spawner Lookup

Let each box either cache the spawner reference handed to it at setup or fall back to a scene-wide FindObjectOfType search, exposing the real cost of repeated lookups directly against the cached path. OptimizationBox.cs

Control Toggleable Optimizations

Wired two Inspector booleans - use pool and cache spawner - to flip each optimization independently, so the same scene runs with every combination to measure exactly what each change saves on the frame budget. OptimizationBoxSpawner.cs
