Actually on modern cards strips are always slower than optmized lists. You
can always try adding degenerate triangles to stitch strips together to save
the cost of multiple render calls (too bad PC cards don't support a primitive
reset index).

| (...) Same here for LDView. LDView always flattens part geometry, and this seems to improve performance enough to be noticed. LDView does use a display list for each part, and a nested display list for each nesting level above that (as long as you (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
