That is exactly what I am saying. In PT 10 and below, "First Selected" was the default pref. In PT 11 and up you will notice that the default is now "None"

You will see your CPU use go down significantly if you choose "None"

I also have mine set to "First Selected" but my studio computer is a powerhouse. On my laptop it is set to "None"

You will see a dramatic increase in stability on an underpowered machine by setting it to "None" because only the tracks that are record enabled get put into the low latency buffer as opposed to all VI tracks in your session.

The good news is that you are able to record enable and disable any midi track during playback. A bit of a hassle, but if you are running out of CPU, it's not a bad tradeoff.
