Perhaps I'm not understanding something, or we're talking at cross
purposes; the issue I was thinking of was related to how many times
a backend receives the same clue (whether accompanied by others in 
a single cluepacket or not) - esp. in the case of a simple ('stupid') 
backend. I'm not sure how you determine whether "something of interest
has changed" in this context.

What I was referring to was the common model of having a relatively 
simpler data feeder and consumers that took all data packets and rejected
immediately those that it didn't want (at the time) to handle.
