Cell de-highlithing and re-highlighting grid cells occurs on every mouse movement when the grid is activated. De-highlighting loops through the entire grid and de-highlights each cell, whether this cell is actually highlighted or not. Even though this grid is small, this solution is slow enough that it makes the interface feel sluggish.

Instead of highlighting each cell individually, it'd make more sense to create a semi-transparent view in front of the cells that ought to be highlighted. De-highlighting wouldn't be necessary since this view can just be moved around and resized depending on which cells ought to be highlighted. This also allows for some stylistic options, such as creating a gradient of the currently highlighted cells.
