[vtkusers] Should I use one actor per renderer/renderwindow or can they share the same actor?

[Karthik Krishnan]

Even if it did work, it'd be quite fragile. I can imagine timestamp checks
going wrong (these are used in the mapper to rebuild the geometric
primitives etc).

I can see LODActors getting messed up, when computing last render time from
a renderer, not realizing that its not the same renderer they rendered on
previously.

Its best to create an actor per render window.
