Main problem of this setVisible() patch is that update() method is performed when the mesh is not visible, using a lot of CPU.
I suggest yo doing something like:

inline void setVisible(const bool& Visible, const bool& ForceToUpdate = false)

and check in Hydrax::update() ForceToUpdate, with something like:
if(!mMesh->getSceneNode()->isVisible() && !mForceToUpdate) return;

thats correct, i forgot about that completely. (hydrax is just hidden for me once at application startup in order to take a picture of the map as overview)
