no cage deformers.
i had two examples that crashed v6 constantly.
one char was just a biped rig, nothing else added/changed and the
other one was the 3d quakers rig, slighly modified.
the latter one refused to work at all. crashes all the time. the
refresh in the viewport however was fine, even a BIT faster than v5.11
there are no cage deformers in either rig. i heavily used blendshapes
though, and the mixer became unusable instable with these characters
in v6....
