Warning about Speed Penalties
Using INTERPOLATE can slow down transformations significantly, particularly if large values are used. This is because a bucket sort for the "nearest explicitly selected node" is required for every candidate node within of selected nodes, and the number of nodes in the sort increases as the cube of .
So don't be surprised if there is a significant delay when interpolation is used with large values in big models. Using can speed matters up as it usually reduces the number of candidate nodes for movement.
