Hmmm, to view other camera angles reparsing is needed because of the
change in rays going to/from objects.  Their profiles are always going
to be different, well that's my guess anyhow.  Parsing was improved as
I recall for multiple frames or renders of the same scene but think
you're talking about keeping a memory map of sorts which considers any
and all changes to camera position.  Of course if a scenes objects,
etc. change with time then the question is probably moot.
