Posing lag in daz

How do people feel about the posing in Daz? Once you have very complex characters and the posing slows down I find it very annoying to pose them. How do you all deal with it? Does it even bother you? Do you mostly use pre made poses? I don't really know what the average persons workflow looks like in daz lol

I'm curious because I made a custom plugin for myself to get better performance. It currently does all I need it to do, but I wanted to find out if there is enough demand to warrant me actually refining it, developing it a bit further, and distributing it. I'm honestly very surprised by how much more performant the posing could actually get.

So how do you use it? You just press a button in the settings menu and start posing just like you would normally do. With default settings the posing experience is pretty much exactly the same as normal except for much, much more performant posing. Works with every posing tool like sliders, powerpose, activepose etc. The video in the post shows it in action with the default settings.

There are also additional optimizations that can be enabled in the settings to increase the performance even further, depending on what is bottlenecking the scene.

I have no idea if this is useful to the average daz user so if this is something you would be interested in then please let me know. If I end up developing it further I would need some help with beta testing so please also let me know if you would be willing to help me test it.

ps. As this was meant to be a personal project it's only for daz 6. Might make a 4.24 version if there is demand.

pps. I also created another plugin that lets me to use intel image open denoise directly inside daz. It uses the beauty render in combination with an albedo and normal canvas to denoise renders and is superior to the built in denoiser daz has. Was wondering if this is something anyone would be interested in as well? It would also need refinement though :-P

Thanks guys :)
