I'm having trouble with a package when saving data in the background with a SOP File Cache, so I want to disable the package for Houdini instances started from this node. I tried using an Environment Edit inside the File Cache's `topnet1` to disable the package (its loading is controlled by an environment variable), but this doesn't appear to work. I'm not sure if the environment is being changed at the right time, or at all.

Any suggestions? I've attached a sample setup. Thank you.

I've noticed this, particularly with nodes with many parameters, such as Render Settings LOP. It also affects Houdini's startup times on my machine by up to an extra 40 s, according to profiling.

I didn't look further into it, and simply avoided recipes for complex nodes. This is as of 20.5.278 -- haven't tested any new builds.

As far as I know, it isn't.
