Poor performance in Unity - SOLVED

Rift appears to be running significantly worse since updating to the new Home hub update. I attempted to leave the 'public beta', but performance stayed poor.
Is there anything I should be doing or not.

It's running in 2017.2.0p4, but I've seen the performance drop in other versions.

SOLVED: It was nVidia stuff. I killed all the nVidia background tasks in the task manager and this solved the issue.

    It was nVidia causing Unity editor to perform poorly, not Oculus at fault. I went into task manager and shut down ALL the things nVidia related there and now it runs as it should. It must have been one of those random things that 'solved' it when I shut down Home before - shutting down Home must have got around whatever nVidia was doing at the time. In any case this is sorted and not Oculus' fault. 


    It’s crazy you found this. I had to uninstall the GeForce Experience entirely for this to not crush Unity. Nice work in digging into this!

    I've no idea which one of it was at fault, and there's some opportunity to figure out the specific problem, but for now I'll take a solution to the issue.
