"Fast" is a relative term. For very large models, Datsville for example, it
takes long enough to render that even a 30% increase in speed makes a
significant difference. And like you mentioned, turning a model in realtime
requires every bit of time savings. Plus I think the fact that rendering
engines end up drawing lots of unseen faces just ticks people off :)
