You're welcome, feel free to ask if there's any area where things are not clear enough to understand. :thumbup:

I think normally it shouldn't, however there might be thousands of details, which should be taken into account. So, not sure, depends...

Just like you, I also thought about converting my skins into not using DynamicVariables=1 at all in the past, via bangs and !SetOptions, but it's quite an effort for a relatively small gain, it often increases the length of bangs, and in some more complex cases it's just not feasible or possible to do it. :confused:
And let's add one more thing: a while (a decade or more) ago, setting the dynamic variables did count most probably, but in meantime both computers and OS have evolved into a point on which maybe the dynamic variables should have to become default. Most probably the backward compatibility might complicate this, but as far as I see, doesn't really matter if you set the dynamic variables on each meter and each measure of a skin, this doesn't load too much the computer.
Might be wrong, but this is how I see things now...

Indeed. It only becomes significant if the skin itself is already resource intensive. All these effects are cumulative.

As I see this question, on a decent computer, running a Windows 10 or 11, there is no way to load the computer too much by dynamic variables. My guess, at least.

You're right, not just from dynamic variables. :thumbup:
