adding minutes:

time: `padzero(trunc(2,$F/($FPS*60))%60)`:`padzero(trunc(2,$F/$FPS)%60)`:`padzero(2,$F%$FPS)`

I have a similar problem with my hda. For sure my hda wants to cook, as it's expecting an input. How to get an hda to drop down and

a) not having the display of the hda ON on creation (that might help to alleviate the error) AND
b) some kind of rule when OnCreate occurs where the node is will not cook. (some sort of detect that begins cooking once a connection is made to first input.

What if your setup is not configured for payloads. Using the lops configure primitive nodes, yes, it hides the instances, but still cooks the data. If you have a million instances, that's a loooong time to cook the viewport each time you'd like to move your mouse. (for me it's ten seconds each frame - not a fan of this)

Is there any other way to do this? (other then disconnecting and reconnecting when the proper time comes)

Would be great to not have the instances cook each frame.
