Yes theres a difference on performance between setting the alpha to 0 or unchekcing visible, its better to uncheck visible.

Shanemc

Then why would you want to use alpha to 0 what is the advantage?

Because visibility is not changeable during gameplay. So if its a controller actor that is always off screen uncheck visible. but if the actor will even need to be visible you will need to use alpha instead
