Wireframe is _much_ faster. About 70% of the time taken by ldlite
for a model such as LL928 is spent filling in quads. However,
wireframe gets messy after only a few bricks.
I'm playing with ActiveX modellers, where you can move a slider bar
and it will rotate a hinge or minifig arm, and I've figured I'll drop into
wireframe mode until the user lets go of the slider.
I'll try an sneak in a wireframe mode in 1.6, which will probably get
released at the end of the month.
