Ooh, exciting - Many thanks hive8.
Just a few points...
The distribution of clones is non-linear even when unscaled.
Here is a mock-up of a linear distribution:

Currently the offset moves the original image and its clones horizontally. My vision for the offset would not change the location of the source or its clones but would affect the scaling, y-position and any other clone effectors. So, with 5 clones, an offset of 3 and a scaling of ~20% would give this sort of effect.

However, the effect is definitely useable as is and has been achieved at fantastic speed - my commendations.
Perhaps you can provide some insight into your development environment?
