OK did some more testing regarding performance and I was able to have 125 ropes in a scene (stopped adding more after that) with NO performance implications by disabling the solvers when the ropes are idle.
I am giving every rope its own solver and I am disabling the solvers after the rope has settled down.
It appears that the solver itself uses very little memory and when they are disabled, there is no overhead CPU wise. This seems to be the best way performance wise to ensure no FPS dips.
I am not disabling the Obi Rope component at all, just the Obi Solvers and this is working great
