[Bug Report] Slow offline rendering during training #6605

Description

@jnskkmhr

Questions

  1. Is continuous rendering with --video the intended behavior, or is there an existing way to restrict
    rendering (and camera pipeline updates) to the active recording windows only?
  2. Is there a recommended alternative for periodic offline visual monitoring under the Newton backend that
    avoids the RTX pipeline entirely (e.g. periodic Newton viewer / Rerun captures)?

Environment

  • Isaac Lab: develop (Newton physics backend, MJWarp solver)
  • Isaac Sim: 6.0.x
  • Setup: headless training in Docker, RSL-RL
  • Task: manager-based humanoid locomotion, dt=0.005, decimation=4, render_interval=4
  • Repro: train.py --task <task> --headless --viz none --video --video_length 200 --video_interval 2000
    → ~10 s/iteration vs ~1 s/iteration without --video
