Thanks for this work!
I assume this would have a rather significant performance hit, no?
You are essentially creating two contexts to the graphics card and copying from one buffer/memory location of some kind to another, which Oculus is again doing behind the scenes with their stuff, every frame.
Great for small projects but that is two/three hits, every frame, right off the bat.
Wish Oculus would fix this so that we can avoid these types of nasty workarounds which kill framerate.
