My experience is that Linux handles larger scenes better than Windows, specially for rendering. I rarely have to do simulations, so I can't comment on that.

Thanks for the tips,

I couldn't measure any difference, with the monitor or during usage, so I will assume it is safe to continue with this setup.

My attempts have not shown any difference in performance from a hierarchy of default nulls and bones, against a hierarchy of HDAs that do the same as the nulls and bones.

I'm afraid this might be an illusion and the performance will drop when I have a hierarchy large enough.
