I think it should have 'connection' somewhere.  This clearly shows there
is no connection at all between the spheres and not just no interpolation
(which could mean anything).

How about:

connection off | linear_spline | cubic_spline | ...

BTW this sounds like a very interesting feature after all.  I'm just
rendering a 6000 spheres mechanical simulation and it's taking ages (not
for the simulation but for the render).
