Removing the ground crew in VAB/SPH?

[jdjk7]

I play on a computer that is best described as a toaster, so trying to get things to run smoothly is a challenge. What I've noticed is that, while building ships, the little kerbals running around on the floor cause me quite a bit of frame drop. Is there any way to remove them?

Wasn't there something in the settings panel for them? Even with a good CPU, the things manage to slow down quite a bit...

There's a config value to switch crew on/off.

But there's no (or I haven't found it) setting to switch on/off VAB/SPH vehicles too. Not too important of course, but sometimes it would be also nice to switch them off because of their lights (randomly highlighting parts) and probably CPU/FPS.

Settings > General > Show Space Center Crew

You'll need to exit the game to do this.
