Speed issue (oninvalidateanimatorcontroller)

[Happyrobot33]

im noticing the main reason large animators take a while to generate, is every single operation that is called seems to invoke AnimatorControllerCallback.OnInvalidateAnimatorController()

if there was a way to avoid this invoke till we are done completely editing the graph, then call it do do it all at once, I think itd singificantly speed up large graph generation. Right now im working on a project where this is 50% of the profiled time, and it is called over 21039 times

it might be useful to use the advice from here AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing();

suggesting a slight rewrite to store everything into a buffer, then have a function call to write it all to the animator once the creation script has finished

seems to be highly related to having either the parameters of the animator that is being changed open in the animator window, or having a layer open that is being edited in the animator window

Note to self: Documentation and examples may need to be changed to integrate AssetDatabase.StartAssetEditing()

Note to self: Need to update documentation for barebones mode to include the use of StartAssetEditing.

Using StartAssetEditing is not necessary in non-destructive workflows as this invocation is managed by NDMF
