FWIW. The caching mechanism is simpler (older) for facets. As with 
crackle I experimented some with forcing 100% misses. The slow down in 
the heavy AA case is +195% as opposed to the +335% seen with crackle. 
The difference likely comes down to the overhead for the simpler facets 
cache being smaller. The facets cache comes close to what I wanted to 
try with the crackle cache.

Going to let ideas to rattle around in my head for a while as to what to 
do. ( 1. Limit use to one crackle and one facets use in any given scene. 
2. A cache per crackle/facets use / per thread. 3. ...)
