tyFlex has an internal cache because flex dynamics are history dependent, and therefore more amenable to a cached workflow. On the other hand, tyConform is not history dependent...so it has to recalculate the frame you land on, but not all the prior frames as well. The typical way to cache something like that is to use the Point Cache modifier, rather than adding internal caches to all history independent mods.
As TyConform has many features focused on animation functionality, I thought that (if it were possible to implement) it could be more practical to be able to configure the correct values and make adjustments without having to generate a new point cache with external archiving every time to be able to watch in realtime, I use PointCache when I bake all the animations to prepare for rendering, but during the initial tests and manipulation of values while the animation is not yet finished, I miss a more practical caching system for TyConform, I don't feel the same need for the other modifiers, only TyFlex that already has this and TytConform that could have it. But I will understand the decision you make, it won't make TyConform stop being amazing \o/
