I’m glad to let you know I’ve released my new Asset Store contribution: Maintainer!
It’s going to be your best friend if you like to keep your projects clean and neat.
Currently it has one module: Issues Finder, but there will be more in future.

Hey, I’ll be short =)
I’m going to compare quickly 3 types of tween animations: built-in Legacy Animation, HOTween and DOTween.
I use 5k objects from prefabs as tweens targets.
Tweens are looped, start by default, have 1 sec length and tweening transform position from (0, 0, 0) to (1.3, 1.4, 1.5).
Used software info:
– Unity 4.6 Beta 16.
– HOTween v1.3.350.
– DOTween 0.7.310 Alpha
– Unity profiler with ‘Deep Profile’ enabled.
Let’s compare initialization time and GC allocations first.
Time + GC Allocation + real memory allocation. Time is frame total time. Memory usage includes memory used by objects.
Animation
Frame time: ~166.7 ms (from 3 samples)
GC Allocations: 97.8 KB
Total memory usage: ~20.07 MB (from 3 samples)
Frames to initialize: 1
HOTWeen
Frame time: ~268.68 ms (from 3 samples) + ~55.62 ms (from 3 samples) for second frame
GC Allocations: 4293 KB + 1.3 KB for second frame
Total memory usage: ~25.1 MB (from 3 samples)
Frames to initialize: 2
DOTween
Frame time: 122.86 ms (from 3 samples)
GC Allocations: 1800 KB (may be kept away from GC using internal pooling)
Total memory usage: ~10 MB (from 3 samples)
Frames to initialize: 1
Now tweening performance, allocations per frame (excluding constant Unity-releated allocators) and total memory usage while running tweens (memory usage increases for a while after initialization).
Time is frame total time.
Animation
Frame time: 12-13 ms
GC Allocations: 0 B
HOTween
Frame time: 36-40 ms
GC Allocations: 420 B – 672 B (sad face here)
DOTween
Frame time: 9 ms
GC Allocations: 0 B
Brand new DOTween gets the best Unity tweening solution award from me!
And it’s free, very flexible, user-friendly and has a great author. It definitely desires donation!

Howdy!
Here is a quick “how to set up” notes to myself and other curious people who have no Windows Phone device on the desk:
1. PC should be compatible with HYPER-V.
Hardware requirements: 64-bit processor with Intel VT or AMD-V support. DEP, Intel XD bit (execute disable bit) or AMD NX bit (no execute bit) should be enabled.
Software requirements: Pro+ editions Win 7 / Win 8 / Win 8.1 – both guest (client) and host.
