Modern GFX cards can process hundreds of millions of vertices per second (my
1 year old card can do 350 million apparently), so assuming you had a recent
GFX card you should be able to rotate the model nicely in 3D.  I often have
models that consist of up to a million triangles (after triangulation) and
they rotate and edit perfectly smoothly (at about 60fps from what I can
tell).  It might slow down a bit with 6 million, but it's not going to be
impossible, especially on latest hardware.

Followup set to .o-t ;-)
