Curiosity question: Netting coin transactions

Feel free to not answer this one if it upsets the business model or reveals the mechanics of running a large pool.

My query is about whether you net earned coin versus demand for coin prior to exchanging for instant payment.

I am wondering if you could use that to help minimise the transaction cost overheads between the disparate set of expectations.

Eg you will have some Scrypt miners who want to buy BTC at its current "low" price, you will have some SHA miners who want to buy LTC because the % increase in BTC earnings and negative gain in LTC, make it as though it was "on sale".

As with stock broker counterparty trade netting, there is a necessity to report every trade, even though the market placements are netted off to reduce overheads.
