Yes that's a problem indeed.

Good as it sounds, this has a problem. As I understand, each view has an 
exposure setting for the float colorspaces. Compositing the layer once and 
then emitting it would effectively kill this parameter to be differentiated 
among different views.

Again, the exposure is not taken into account. And of course, this gigantic 
waste of memory is not so fun.

But maybe you could cache the KisImage's renderToProjection result between 
different calls to renderPainter that are made after the same update of the 
image?
