The only likely solution would be to redo the mappers (one for each axis) 
such that they display data in a different order (like copy it to 
textures). its just about conceivable if you were creating textures in 
graphics memory and not user memory - then you could get away with one copy 
of the raw data and N copies of "rendered" stuff.  Not sure I've thought 
this through properly...hmmm
