Calc a path, store it, then use it later?

Calculating paths for sprites produces a pretty big delay and causes scrolling to pause and jitter. Can I, during game load, calculate a bunch of paths, store the paths, then use them later to move sprites?

Here's a thought: Could I manage this with "Wait for signal"s? Maybe?

No doesn't appear this will work
