It's not worth the trouble:
- You're talking about saving a few bytes on a text file, it will make
even less difference on the compressed archive.
- Using primitives can be slower, you'd be opening a new file and then
adding a new matrix to the transformation and multiplying each vertex by
this matrix.
- We need more help in other areas if you have enough time to spare.
