I will let someone in the Performer team talk about the capabilities of
pfFlux (the 2.2 replacement for cycle buffers).

The pfCycleBuffer man page states "the function pfGeoSet::setAttr accepts
pfCycleBuffer memory for attribute arrays.... Currently pfGeoSets do not
support pfCycleBuffer index lists."

So I interpret that to mean you can only (when it comes to pfGeoSets) cycle
buffer coords, normals, texcoord and color arrays (but not the corresponding
index arrays).
