Short description of error
When disabling a boolean modifier in the viewport for performance reasons, there is still a considerable slowdown in animation playback unless the modifier is deleted (much smaller slowdown than with it enabled, but still a considerable slowdown).
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Create two meshes to use for the boolean modifier (at least one should be dense enough to cause a slowdown when boolean is used)
- Add the boolean modifier to one of the meshes
- Disable modifier in viewport and notice how there is still a slowdown
- Remove the modifier completely and notice how there is no more slowdown.
