actually FTGL uses display-lists for each glyph. (which should be quite 
fast unless a) it is done in software ;-) and/or b) the glyph-parsing of 
the text-string is slow...)
i don't know right know, how it is done with GLTT.

with which font-renderer is your version of Gem compiled with ? (it 
should give you a message when the first text-related object is created)
