What's the best practice for activating/deactivating UI components in Unity3D?

Question

I'm making a UI for my Unity3D game and am activating/deactivating UI components in order to display or hide them, which works but is slow. The first time a UI component is activated, it is particularly slower than thereafter. Is there a best practice as to how UI should be hidden/displayed?

Try disabling canvas renderer. It should be a lot less stressing on the CPU than using GameObject.SetActive() if you have nested panels and what not.

You can use the Sprite Mask. Although the areas of use of the Sprite Mask are wide, it is generally used to hide unwanted parts of an image.
