Well the thing is that when I use the AddParticleCloud() method
instead of the CreateParticleCloud command, I don't have a ParticleOp
operator. Therefore I can't set any cache, unless there is a special
technique to add the operator to an existing cloud.

On the other hand, the CreateParticleCloud gives me way too much. I'm
using these particles to dress a stage with repetitive static
elements, so I don't need all the "simulation" aspects. Using
CreateParticleCloud, I get a full blown simulation where the position
of particles is quite different.

If anyone has advice on this....

*sigh*

Select the Cloud. Alt-Enter. Select the Particles-Op Tab. Look under "Output."
