It's beeb known. ;-)
No, they shouldn't update at all if they're not visible; xsi does a lazy
evaluation, only updating those that need it. My guess is it still has to
loop through them all even if it's only to figure out if they're visible or
not. If it were me, though, I'd still do a merge, even if you're not
animating them all.
