Cage Tool Suggestions

Currently the cage tool recalculates the transformation with every point I change. This can be terribly slow for every point moved.

What I imagine would be good therefore would be to have an option for how the transformation is previewed -

1. None - useful for moving many points; might not be necessary if 2 below works well 2. Low-Res - useful for getting the transformation almost right without incurring exasperating delays 3. Full Quality - final checks and tweaks

(It would also be a useful extra to mark key points and see how they move, but not quite so necessary as having a low-res preview option)

Also an option if feasible to transform what's outside the cage also?

thanks so much!

There's another option: not trying to do as many calculations as now :)

The developer has it in plans, he's just not active in the project right now.
