Good heavens, so on SL, a sprite that is entirely off-screen will automatically be disabled, but won't prevent the upstream patches from executing? Surely this doesn't offer much scope for improving performance? On the other hand, if it did prevent upstream execution, this would be a problem. Quite a few times I've lazily put an output into an off-screen sprite to force a bunch of upstream patches to execute. What other force-execution "sink" type solutions are possible? Does plugging into an Iterator with 0 iterations still work? I note iterators on SL don't execute unless they contain some other patch (consumer or otherwise).
