I ran some tests yesterday about the possibility of using static jetways as placeholders. At KSFO, with animated jetways disabled and no dynamic jetway models at all, FPS was at about 32-33 on my system. With animated jetways, it plummeted to 15-16. When I used $FG_ROOT/Models/Airport/jetway.xml as a place holder, FPS slightly increased to 22-23. My conclusion is that this really doesn't offer any benefit, and frankly, competing sims don't have such "placeholder jetways" either.
I've filed a new request at Gitorious here: https://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata/merge_requests/98 .
