Are you asking if it will give performance hit just to have the prefabs in the project, but not loaded. Or are you saying you are seeing a performance hit? I dont think there will be, but not sure.

Only those prefabs are loaded into memory that are referenced in the current scene. Also if prefabs are not used anywhere in any scene in your build, they will not be included in the build.

--> Your answer is clear.

But I have one more question about this?

When I reuse only one prefab XXX in many scene, my application' size( $$anonymous$$B) will be increased acording to the times I use prefab XXX?
