  12. I have an application that currently renders using the standard
  13. GL bgnpolygon().. endpolygon() calls with lights/shading. 
  14. I'd like to find out ways of speeding this up (I have LOTS of polygons).
  15. I'd like to know 
  16.  
  17. a. what speed up is possible going to graphical objects?
  18. b. is there a way of storing and restoring computed images that
  19.    is faster?
  20.  
  21. Thanks.
