Does multiple reads of the same thing slow down renders?

Does multiple reads of the same thing slow down renders?

Hey guys,

Quick question. If I have some footage that I’m using in a bunch of nodes, does it make a difference if I read it multiple times and use them them where I need them as opposed to taking multiple outputs from only one read node of the footage as far as render times are concerned?

Does Nuke know that its the same footage or does it actually re read the files each time theres a read node?

I’m assuming it re reads it each time and slows it down, but I’m just checking.

Thanks!
