what about a "render-passthrough" spu?  basically duplicate the
passthrough spu, but have its super spu be the render spu. then call the
super func before calling the child func. shouldnt be too difficult..

im picturing this being useful on the head node of a cluster.. in which
case it might be useful if it could "dump" geometry, to keep the local
display from bottlenecking..

i've had some problems with the readback spu being in an app node, under
linux (ie the way the readback.conf is/was setup). greg claims its a
driver issue..
