I'm trying to cache out a moving feather system, and right now It's connected to a component output node https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/lop/componentoutput.html [www.sidefx.com] which only has a static/single frame save to disk button.

How do I approach dealing with data that moves?

I have been launching some renders on a 32 core threadripper machine and I seem to be getting about 50% cpu utilization in windows task manager vs what I'm seeing from v-ray. Is this something others are observing?

I tried the influence radius but it have to set it fairly low for the hair to not stray away. The side effect of this is that the hair clusters around the guides very closely which would mean I have to have a lot more guides, seems like in this situation a lot of the hairs are on top of each other. One of the images below shows what increasing the density to a more ridiculous amount does.
