Thanks George, good to know it's working! I messed around with it and worked out that it was something to do with the clears. The framerate dropped to 10fps after I had 3 comps being dynamically loaded. I'd like it if the fps wouldn't drop below at least 30fps. I guess that's something I'd have to work on, maybe it has something to do with the render in image patches.
I took your advice and removed the iterator. Now, I've got 10 Macro's accepting the same XML Structure and loading in a comp if the index exists.
