I started to look into your source over the weekend. I didn't get
very far though. I couldn't concentrate. (There was this football
(american style) game on TV between a teem called the 'Steelers'
and a team called the 'Patriots' - It was a little distracting...;^)

Ahh. I wondered why Element wasn't used anywhere. :)

Your's did seem to rotate pretty well, I'm curious though, When you
rotate the model, can you see it while it's rotating? For me the screen
stays still while I drag the mouse, and then after a noticable pause,
it finally redraws. At first I thought dragging the mouse wasn't doing
anything. Then the picture changed and I wasn't sure what I did.
I've since looked at the source, and I understand how it's supposed
to work. Maybe my Laptop is just too slow. What hardware do you use?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I share one Shape3D and one
Appearence object for each reference to a DAT file. Then I share one
set of Geometry among all the references to the same DAT file.
I remember that when I made this change the memory usage dropped
significantly.
I'm hoping that using strips will reduce it further. Though I expect
it to increase at first - untill i can go through and figure out
what I don't need now that I have strips.
So far, I've been surprised how similiar the DAT file structure, and
the J3D Scenegraph really are. :)
