That works
just fine, and it solves the
farm issue too.
It is a work
around that is actually kind
of elegant.
Thank you.

slowing scene open
or mute the original particle cloud, (once
fully cached)
and bring in a particle loader pointing to its cache?
it is brain dead enough to just damn well read and nothing more.

also because several machines writing to the same cache seems to screw
the
cache. My solution at the time was to point particle caches to a local
directory.
None of this
is ideal,
though.

It’s the farm
computers that concern me… they of-course must all render from the same
cache. FYI, the NAS where the scenes and the cache files are stored is
gigabit over cat-6 with a nice cisco switch. It is about as fast as I
could hope for a small production group like mine.
If anyone has a
clue to offer, I’d appreciate it.
