My impression is that recalculates on the fly, but until you stop (moving a slider for example) it tries to do quick-and-dirty computations and rendering. This is pretty clear if you manipulate a 3D graph of a function f(x,y,a) with a the parameter - it doesn't even draw the mesh until you let go of the slider.
