I ran some more tests, it consist of the same compound duplicated four
times , each one driving an SRT:

Per object ice
tree                                                                   49
fps
One Ice tree for calculation and per object Ice tree to drive srt   41 fps
multiple ice trees under the same object
38 fps
One Ice tree for
everything                                                       34 fps
