- Make a method in RenderContext similar to getScatchpad that returned a pointer to a buffer and would reallocate that buffer if it were too small. Abe, is this what you had in mind?

Yeah, this is basically what I was thinking (we could use a mutable member for the context scratchpad right?), although the first idea could work also--if there was a constant number of such objects in the scene. In either case we will make sure that the memory is allocated on the thread's node.
