Reducing idle time on job threads

[JanikH]

Thanks for the elaborate information!
I was assuming job dependencies are likely the reason.

I believe the scene is rather simple:
- 1 BoxCollider (Ground)
- 1 MeshCollider using a distance field
- 1 to 8 Cloth actors with 32 particles each; closed convex shape with small particles; surface collisions are enabled because I need somewhat robust collisions between the actors:
   

Solver settings:
- Fixed timestep is around 0.033, the game is capped at 30 fps
   
   

I'm not modifying any simulation parameters at runtime, only evaluating the particle collisions.
I hope this information can be of use.

I was wondering if this code might lead to a situation where jobs are not scheduled when they could be?

Code:

BurstConstraintsImpl.cs

public void ScheduleBatchedJobsIfNeeded()
{
    if (scheduledJobCounter++ > 16)
    {
        scheduledJobCounter = 0;
        JobHandle.ScheduleBatchedJobs();
    }
}

I'm probably just misunderstanding the scheduling process.
