 - **Pattern tiles:** the renderer keeps a tile of each pattern for each scale it rasterizes the pattern at, until the tiles fill the tile cache's budget, and then drops the least recently used tiles first. Objects that show one pattern at different scales, such as a pattern scaled to 25% with Transform Pattern Tiles next to the same pattern at 100%, draw from tiles kept between frames.
 
+- **Type with transparency or effects:** type at less than 100% opacity, in a blend mode other than Normal, or with raster effects such as a drop shadow keeps its glyph outlines between frames, as opaque type does, and is laid out again when it is edited or the fonts change. At 2880 × 1800 on 8 threads, a page of 1,000 type objects takes 13 ms a frame instead of 23 ms at 80% opacity, 31 ms instead of 41 ms in Multiply and 16 ms instead of 26 ms with a drop shadow, with the same pixels.

 - **Texture redraws (#1257):** Craquelure, Mosaic Tiles and Stained Glass compare squared distances when finding their nearest cells; rounding/tie boundaries use the original distance ordering. Brute-force candidate tests and three 1800×1500 viewport comparisons preserve the old pixels. A CMYK rectangle move at 190.07%/DPI 1.5 is reproducible with `cargo test -p vectorcraft-render texture_drag_perf -- --ignored --nocapture`; idle-machine Windows interaction is still unverified.
 
 - **Moving objects with raster effects (#1257):** during a drag or a dialog's preview, an object whose content only moved draws its cached drop shadows, outer glows and filtered content (Gaussian Blur, Feather and the Photoshop-style filters) from the rasters of an earlier frame at the nearest whole pixel, without running the effects again. The renderer first draws the moved content where the old content lies in its raster and compares the pixels. De-Interlace runs again. The frame after the drag runs the effects again and draws what a fresh renderer draws; on the desktop, the canvas renders that frame on the render worker. `texture_drag_perf` times a drag's frames and the frame after it.
