Comment 8 for bug 245078

As far as I can tell, it shouldn't be hard to make mere moves/scalings not trigger a recalculation of the LPE. I think there is even a flag indicating such changes in the SPObject model. I'd like to see that implemented, too (although, as Johan pointed out, it doesn't seem to be the major cause of the slowdown). However, depending on the LPE, simply moving/scaling the original path might *not* result in the recalculated path having the same translation/scaling applied because a LPE can turn the path into anything. I believe for all existing LPEs this wouldn't be an issue but you never know what people wil come up with in the future. Just to keep it in mind.
