PF_GetCurrentState from PF_ParamUtilSuite3 can be utilized to get a pretty coherent "hash" of an input layer. With this, the uploaded contents of a "texture" derived from a PF_EffectWorld can be identified to have been uploaded already to the GPU and can be re-used.
A PF_State may be added to the current sequence-cache allowing cases such as a still-image input layer to only have to be uploaded to the GPU once and re-used much quicker.

Additional testing may have to be done depending on the coherency of the PF_State such as changes in extents, quality, bit-depth, etc.
