Sand Balls Mechanics Implementation: The Best Way To Deform A Mesh In Unity

The goal of this post is not only to share the implementation but also to find out how naïve implementation could be to have a stable frame rate on a mobile device using the following ways to deform a mesh:
- Single-threaded
- Job system
- Compute shader with AsyncGPUReadback

All approaches were measured using the performance testing package, therefore it can be used as a sample of how to use it.
