Cost of TOP inputs in GLSL TOP

Also a quick bump of this thread from a while back which could help with this question:

FIXED: Parameter to provide variable number of inputs to GLSL Multi TOP

It would be useful to have a string parameter on GLSL Multi TOP that can be used to specify a list of TOPs to use as inputs, similar to what Composite TOP and Merge DAT have. The RayTK library is based around a component that generates and runs a shader. Within that there’s a generated table of TOP input sources, which has a variable length. Currently it’s using a DAT Execute to connect and disconnect a series of Select TOPs based on how many are needed. It sort of works but there are sometimes…
