Do you think this would also effect things like Delete by Volume? I've been getting some rather nasty slow down this morning where there's a reasonable amount of particles being deleted by volume in the post-sim stack. I was surprised as I didn't think the amount of particles being emitted was too numerous. And the object being used by the delete by volume was a "live" poly object extruded by curve.
