I only put the word "connectors" in the subject because (1) it really
is a connector and (2) to attract your attention.

In this particular case the animation visualizes a "Mail Flow" (postal
automation). It looks very intuitive. There can be many mailflows
though.
In any case:
I got several interesting responses to this question and other speed

figure out how to do this. I found a Class CachingMorph, but it seems
to unused in Squeak itself.
Can you give me a good starting point ?
