Since the BFC discussion has everything to do with performance improvement,
I would like to propose the following changes to the primitives:

-  4-4disc.dat
-  2-4disc.dat

Remove the point which lies in position (0,0,0), because it's NOT required • and
it adds significant overhead processing (every stud has an extra NOT
required point)

The primitives can still be constructed with triangles, just remove the • point
(0,0,0) and remake the triangles in a fan like manner.


I don't see a problem with doing this for the 4-4disc, but it would be a
problem for the 2-4disc.  The 2-4disc is often used in conjuction with a
1-4disc or 1-8disc.  The 2-4disc needs that center point to match up exactly
to the 1-4 and 1-8disc.  Otherwise you get gaps when viewing from some
angles.
