Mesh' is one of the thing I thought about. What if I put all the mesh data 
in a database. Could I optimese a mesh2 faster there than by doing it in 
SDL? A specialised program, like Warp's meshcompressor would be even 
faster.

What about modifing mesh's? Connecting vertices with bones and moving 
those?

Would a database be an intermediate between a pure (slow) SDL script and a 
dedicated (fast) external program in cases where is dealt with a lot of 
data?

Just interested,

Ingo
