  The nice thing is that even if the model had 1 million triangles, the
render time wouldn't have been significantly longer (perhaps 1% longer or
so).
  (Of course the biggest overhead in a 1-million-triangles model is
the parsing time, which would be about 10 times longer, so instead of
being 10 seconds as in this case, it would be about 100 seconds...)
