Improve nHair simulation and cache playback performance

Depending on your nHair simulation, you can improve nHair simulation and cache playback performance by turning on the Disable Follicle Anim attribute on the hairSystemShape node.

Consider turning on Disable Follicle Anim for performance improvements if:

• You don't have keyframed animation on any follicle node attributes such as Per Follicle Override.

• The surface of the object to which the nHair is attached is not animated.
• You are playing back a cached simulation that has no animated simulation or render-related attributes.
