How about leaving it as it is (minus the ray depth feature) but have it

you could activate shadows on the highest setting, deactivate them on
the second highest and XSI would remember the render settings for each
increment.

the situtation is. so i avoid the slider too...

I never use that slider anyway, it does stuff that makes no sense.
