VR mode brings very high CPU load without Oculus Rift

I've noticed standalone executables built with Unity 5.1.1f1 "Virtual Reality Supported" checked bring massive CPU load when Oculus Rift is *not* connected. It also makes the program very unresponsive (0.5-1 seconds lag on mouse and keyboard). In editor it works fine.

Is there anyone suffering the same problem?

I thought I could publish games which optionally support Oculus Rift in one binary, but this problem prevents me from doing it.

    Same here. Didn't realize it was a high CPU load causing the delay (makes sense), but glad to know someone else was able to reproduce as well. Any word on this?

    Thanks for reporting to Unity. I was lazy to do it :)
