Each node does recompute the binary format, since eqPly makes no assumption that the filesystem is shared. My normal workflow was so far to test config.eqc before moving to the cluster - so that it this point the binary cache was already created. Ideally it should be an external converter, and eqPly only reads its custom format - OR to use a diskless render client implementation where the data is distributed from the application node.
