Transparent objects
There is one more parameter, that is not available through Avatar API but you might consider it helpful when tuning to max-performance. You can disable transparent objects.
If any transparent objects are present, an additional Wolf3D_Avatar_Transparent object and material are included, and avatar rendering requires 2 draw calls.
