Hi everyone,
I have several containers that have a different animation inside of it, and each container will be displayed sequentially. When the containers are not being displayed, then I would like to disable any processing behind it to optimize the performance, how would you that?
Hey, this article has some good information on the subject of processing in COMPs:

To answer your question somewhat though, you generally don’t need to manually turn off cooking within a COMP as it won’t cook unless something is using it’s data. Since you aren’t displaying it, it won’t be processing anything.
hi bebensiganteng,
Selecting is a solid technique for addressing this need. You might use select TOPs, or select COMPs to solve this problem. In this example you can see how that might work. The buttons let you move through each successive container, and the top button lets you display all containers at the same time. If you keep an eye on the frame time, you’ll see the difference between displaying all of the containers simultaneously vs. just selecting which container to display.
While this is a fine way to approach this, instead of selecting whole containers, I think you might instead consider just selecting TOPs instead.
Hope that helps.
