Performance Hints

First rule: get it running first, optimize later

If you are drawing lots of triangles:

Triangle strips
```
	glBegin(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP);
```

Vertex arrays

	glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
	glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, thevertices);
	glDrawElements(GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP,
		       length,
		       GL_UNSIGNED_INT,
		       thetriangleindices);

Display lists

	glNewList(1, GL_COMPILE);
	/* Draw the model */
	glEndList();

	/* Later on... */
	glCallList(1);
