How does the cpu usage in my demo compare to your patch where you use a radiobutton?
Here's a cpu load comparison of objects dragged continuously (on intel mac 2GHz):
polygon in movable_box2.pd: 23 % polygon in 07.sequencer.pd (help browser): 16% radiobutton in moving_objects.pd: 12 % regular Pd slider: 13 % 2D geo in a gem window: 2.5%
The old joke: If the black box can survive a crash, why don't they just build the whole airplane out of the black box?
Similarly: If a 2D geo in a gem window is the most efficient way to draw an object, why not just make canvases be opengl windows?
I imagine the answer might be "because it's not that simple", but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Your polygon method is plain vanilla Pd and that makes it attractive for a widely shared Pd patch. No risk of broken dependencies. But I am afraid it is too cpu-intensive, particularly on Windows. Thanks for sharing the idea though, it is inspiring.
