Using AssetBundle in Unity INCREASES Memory Allocation

i have a login scene which goes to a dashboard scene then to one of many gametype scenes. I decided to asset bundle the different scenes to make it so that i don't have to allocate every image and prefab all the time. The problem is, using asset bundling made my game less efficient. I ran the profiler with and without bundle asset capability. So both tests go from login scene -> dashboard scene, can anyone explain this?

WITH BUNDLE ASSETS login scene total memory allocated: 0.78GB after transition to dashboard scene total memory allocated: 0.99GB

WITHOUT BUNDLE ASSETS login scene total memory allocated: 0.76GB after transition to dashboard scene total memory allocated: 0.82GB

I also tested on WebGL both versions, and once i got to the dashboard on each version, there was a 10% decrease in fps in the bundle asset version. So the version with bundle assets had a lower frame rate and higher memory allocation. Just the opposite of what i was trying to do, any ideas of what could be going on?

And for the record i removed the scenes I'm loading from the build settings when testing the bundle asset versions

Thanks Mitch

Maybe this can help you AssetBundle Compression Overhead

Also, are you unloading the AssetBundles once you have instantiated the objects with Unload(false). If not, I think you will have in memory both the asset and the bundle.
