[Papervision3D] Renderer is drawing some things only some of the time

[Gil Birman]

Did you resolve this problem? I tried the webpage again and there was
no flickering but it seemed much slower than before. My was that the
MOUSE_MOVE handler was causing a render in between some math
calculations that were supposed to be synchronous (although I don't
understand how that's actually possible).
