Experimenting with Unity Tag speed in Unity 2021.2.1f1
BetterTag is a component which can be attached to each object you want to tag.
- Tags are in an enum at the top of BetterTag.cs
- Core data structure is Dictionary(BetterTag, HashSet(GameObject))
My speed tests are built into the project.
- Changing the tag on every object every frame enough times to be measurably slow
- Tests conducted on a pretty stable Xeon X5660 6-core system running Win 10 Pro with 30 GB RAM.
This project builds to a standalone 640x480 windowed application.
Initial tests indicate that Unity Tag is very fast and my version takes about 1.7x as long. So, not actually "Better". LOL.
