If you call the_prerendered_content() on a post with no cached content, 
it will apply the filters right then and cache the content live.  The 
performance is identical to running the filters live, with the 
difference being that subsequent loads would use the cached content, 
which is much faster.  Having to modify the theme is a necessary evil, 
at least the way I saw it.  I've tried plugins that run as a filter on X 
and then try to modify filters on X live, and it really doesn't work so 
well.
