I am having severe performance issues with the follower specifically when working with expressions and I think the solution is some sort of cache for expressions.
In the follower modifier, when adding a delay to the characters it appears Fusion is recalculating the expression for every letter on a different frame (depending on its delay). For example if the playhead is currently on frame 8 it also has to calculate the expression on frames 7, 6, 5, etc....
The value for x frame will be exactly the same for each letter so if Fusion can cache the expression it only needs to run it for the first letter significantly improving performance.
So I hope to see some sort of expression/follower caching implemented in the near future for stuff like this and to make edit page Fusion templates faster.
