I don't know.  I was thinking if you had two cpu's, you could have one
thread running in it's own context/own cpu just drawing cloud
textures, then passing them back to the main application which would
take the new image and replace the old with it.

But, you have to be a little careful if you only have one 3d card.
You don't want two processes competing for that scarce resource
... the 2nd thread would need to do software rendering, or you'd need
two cards and sort things out to make sure each process ended up on
the right card, etc. etc.
