Game freezes when animation is playing for the first time

I use:

spritesheet animations
a few particle systems
one 3D animated object.

The problem is: when 2D animations are being played (walking, jumping, punching etc) the game frezes for 0.5 - 2 seconds when any 2D animation is playing for the first time. I think it happens when animation Unity transfers animation to the RAM. Once all animations was used one time -- everything works fine without any freezing.

So, how to fix that? How to move animations to the RAM before full game started? May be there is a special option in Unity that I don't know.

Thank you! (:

How does the object using the animation come into existance and activate? Instantiate, or it exist in scene? Is it on an Android device or PC?

Some objects are prefabs and some objects are classic ones (exist in scene).

I instantiate some 2D effects (prefabs, located in Resource folder). These effects use spritesheets as well.

I use Animator component and fire animations with bool and trigger values. So, animated prefabs and animated objects in scene use Animator controller + SpriteRenderer.

This game runs only on PC.
