I found that performance went down somewhat when I copied and pre-translated all
the studs too. I could be creating a memory cache penalty. Anyway it is only one
matrix multiply per stud (stud is already flattened in itself), which goes onto
the stack. After that there are multiplies associated with drawing the triangles
of the stud (local to world, world to camera for every point. IIRC) which you
have to pay.
