The main one was performance due to every light being rendered in a separate draw pass. If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. The regular CanvasOccluders have a new option to enable them for SDF rendering.

Because the computer won’t render the next frame until all the needed calculations are done! The main thread has not to wait until all the objects are instantiated and can already render the next frame while the placement process runs on the separate, second thread. This struggle is visible for the player as a freezing screen.
