Aha, so it's not just my imagination.

I've been setting up mega scenes with a lot of Proxy trees. The scene takes forever to load, but renders very quickly.

Unfortunately, when sending to Backburner, the scene loading time is added to the render time. I was wondering why my render times would increase dramatically when sending to Backburner. Now I know why. Very good to know.

Very helpful thread!

With movable proxies scenes take less time to load and consume less memory(in case if you use instancing) but after loading render slower.

Ah ok I see. It must be something else that has increased my loading times.

Thanks Karba!

When you render frame sequence, octane loads entire scene only once and then just update in from frame to frame.
When you use backburner, octane has to load entire scene all the time for every frame.
