Too manny calls of canConnect()

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.add a canConnect-Method to the stencil set description of BPMN
 e.g.
   canConnect: function(args) { 
      if((args.sourceStencil.id() === args.sourceStencil.namespace()+"Task") ){
    console.log("ConnectionTest for Task activity\n");
        console.log("TargetStencils: %s\n",args.targetStencil.toString());
      }
    return true; 
   }
2. start the oryx-editor 
3. drug&drop a new Task-activity to the canvas
4. observe the console log of FireBug

What is the expected output?

  - nothing form canConnect()

What do you see instead?

 - canConnect(args) is called for each object in shape repository

 - this causes very bad performance when using canConnect()

the huge number of checks for connection rules comes from the shape menu. It 
checks
all possible connections every time you click on a shape. This maybe has major 
impact
on performance.
