How to reproduce:
1. Open the “ParticleTestbed.zip“ project
2. Open the ”SampleScene”
3. Build and Run for Android with Autoconnect Profiler enabled
4. Run the application for a minute
5. Save and observe the Profiler data
Expected result: Particle Systems have a consistent execution time
Actual result: One of the worker threads will take significantly longer to execute "ParticleSystem.GeometryJob” (up to ~20ms)

Notes:
- Reproducible with both Vulkan and OpenGLES3 Graphic API
- Reproduces with both IL2CPP and Mono
- There are attached Profilers Captures in the comments
- Also the long “ParticleSystem.GeometryJob” marker always coincides with a long “WaitForJobGroupID” marker from the RenderThread
- Disabling multi-threaded rendering improves the performance of the ParticleSystem. However, it heavily affects the performance of everything else so it’s not a feasible workaround.
