They would only be called when a photon hits the surface and needs to
evaluate the material. Which is a really long way of saying no, but
one word replies are so, like, whatever ;-)

Bill Blakesley showed me a neat trick to use until Soft gets the issue
addressed. Take a mix 8 node and plug all kind of potential branches you
might like to keep into it. Then plug that into and unused slot of the
Material port. Something like the photon port if you arent using GI etc. My
question is, do those branches still get calculated even if Photons are
turned off in the render globals?
