Maybe you're running into one of those weird oddities of the Apple opengl
drivers. For example rendering to the GL_FRONT buffer really renders to
a hidden back buffer. There are times where this setup causes you to use
triple buffering, which eats up lots of video memory. Once you're out
of video memory your display lists have to get swapped in from system RAM.
You find out this stuff by monitoring the Apple opengl mailing list...
