See TranslucentRendering.cpp
// todo: this optimization is currently broken
DrawingContext.bSceneColorCopyIsUpToDate = (DrawingContext.TranslucenyPassType == ETranslucencyPass::TPT_SeparateTranslucency);
The optimization doesn't work because the bSceneColorCopyIsUpToDate is always false when it's evaluated in the code above.
As reported on UDN.
Create a test level with multiple meshes with a transparent material which reads from SceneColor, using separate translucency
Put a breakpoint in FTranslucencyDrawingPolicyFactory::DrawMesh and notice that each draw call does a SceneColor copy.
