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

  1. Create two meshes to use for the boolean modifier (at least one should be dense enough to cause a slowdown when boolean is used)
  2. Add the boolean modifier to one of the meshes
  3. Disable modifier in viewport and notice how there is still a slowdown
  4. Remove the modifier completely and notice how there is no more slowdown.

This problem is related to what is described in T71490
I'll merge this report to that one.
