The double gemhead trick is based on "forced rendering". If you look
at the gemhead help file, you will see, that banging a gemhead will
make it render just one frame. 

In the double-gemhead configuration, the upper gemhead basically ist
just a metro driving the rendering of the lower gemhead with bangs.
(But you cannot use a normal metro here, as the bangs have to be timed
exactly in sync with the gemwin's frame rate.)

The lower gemhead as default is switched off (with a loadbang -> 0),
so that it is not rendering, unless it receives a bang. 

The with some simple [t b a] voodoo you can make many forced renderings of
the same geo but with different transformations applied to each. See
attached example patch for this in action.
