The "cache-bitmap" tweak I suggested might provide this.
    (local [(define sub (cache-bitmap (carpet (/ size 3) c))) ...]
        (overlay (square size "outline" c)
                        (above (beside sub sub sub)
                                      (beside sub ctr sub)
                                      (beside sub sub sub))))
After "sub" is rendered for the first time, its bitmap will be  
cached, then used seven more times.
