Actually this might be faster for rendering. If you use a display
list (or similar construct) for each subfile you'll be using less
display list memory overall, which might lead to faster rendering.
If your renderering time is constrained by the sheer number of
triangles, then there should be no change. Also, while you may open
more files, you'll be reading less overall from the disk, so that
should be faster.
