You can "freeze" a synth..... but a plug in????? IDK....
A quick solution is to save the plug in as a preset...give it a new name of course. Then you can delete it easily and pop it back in without having to go through and reset all the parameters.
But yes.... they do eat up CPU while doing nothing. Same with synths.
I generally will render the track to audio once I have it sounding close enough for R&R. Then I'm free to delete the plugin, synths, etc...and work with a straight up audio track. I have had to do this since several of my plugs are very CPU intensive, the ones I use for mastering....
