Do LayoutGroups under a disabled Canvas still get calculated?
Do I need to disable each and every LayoutGroup (and even LayoutElements?) for performance or it's disabling the parent Canvas sufficient enough?
I used to toggle off the parent gameObject but Unity recommended to just disable components.
I'm not certain, but I think disabling the Canvas will stop the rendering of everything in its hierarchy. You can check it yourself, check the number of rendered objects in the Statistics overlay of the Game view.
But if nothing else, deactivating the game object will definitely stop them from being calculated.
Disabling the parent disables all the components on it and in children. If you want to only disable one component, do that instead. But if you want to disable all components, disable game Object. Keep in mind, this will disable all behaviors you or your colleagues put on this game Object.
