On a slightly related note...  Can anyone explain what exactly is
consuming so much rendering cost in the SL client?  The only
attributable thing I can find is that literally dozens of polygons can
be used to render the same flat surface (ex A large cube, large
stretches of flat ground can takes thousands).  Isn't there anything
we can do to reduce the polygon waist and improve performance?  I am
not that proficient in 3d rendering so my observation could be wrong.
