[PD] display lists - was: Re: lua scripting for pd objects

[Thomas Grill]

Hi,
i really have next to no GEM knowledge, but i was always asking  
myself whether GEM compiles the GL commands to display lists.
If yes, is that structured by using separate gemheads, if no, why  
isn't it used?
If display lists are used i would think it shouldn't make a lot of  
difference which language is used for the GL commands (apart from  
changing parameters maybe).
