What platform are you running Path of Building on?
Windows
Is your feature request related to a problem?
No but kinda I guess? Its a "problem" that the "show node power" feature demands so much cpu power/time.
Describe the solution you'd like
(I'm not 100% sure if this is implemented in some form)
Add an option to cache previous calculations since you will often be using the same weapons/skills but there will also need to be a button to recalculate the power nodes in case you make big changes to the build.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Add the option to only focus on notables and ignore all small nodes

Research direction
Start by locating the existing “Show Node Power” entry point and its calculation path, then measure repeated calculations for the same build. Define how cached results should be invalidated and how a manual recalculation would work. Done means repeated unchanged calculations reuse cached results while substantial build changes can produce refreshed node-power values.
