Description
CZML entities like boxes can be optimized so that they don't recreate their geometry during translation/rotation/scale animations. This would help speed up czmls containing a large number these entities.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Open the linked Example CZML and use the debugger to trace why a new BoxOutlineGeometry is created for each frame during translation, rotation, or scale animations. Done means geometry is preserved and reused across frames for optimizable entities, with the example no longer recreating that geometry each frame.
