The only workaround that seems to put the world back in ballance is to use a particle player.
Cache the particles to file. Keep the cloud in the scene and use a particle player to play the cache. Hide and/or mute the original cloud.
Even if you're just testing things it's easy enough to swap visibility between the two. I think great things are on the horizon with XSI but for now that's a decent work around.
