Anyone else noticed that using subdivision shape is a looot slower and takes a lot more vram than pre-subdividing mesh in blender?

when I did like max 4 subdivision on a mesh using shape node I got very slow startup and about 4gb Vram usage
when I did max 2 subdivisions on node and a mesh that was 2x pre-subdivided I got a lot faster startup and just 1.5GB vram usage

I could maybe understand slower startup if the subdivision is adaptive, but why so much more vram?

Was the total amount of triangles the same at the end ? There may be a (large) difference if you are using quads inside Blender

will look into that, but... if max value is 2 then it should be at most the same as blender which was set to 2 anyways, no?
