Memcpying complete video frame in HD at 30 or 60 fps is not negligible performance impact. But I agree it would be a good idea.

You snipped out the part where I suggested shared memory :)

It might get hairier if the platform graphics api wants to supply you a buffer to render into, and you can't pass it a shared memory buffer yourself (that is accessible by that sandboxed process).
