[PD] How do I squeeze more performance out of Gem?

[chris clepper]

A model is the way to go since the vertex data is static.  Ideally for
situations like this there would be one object that loads a single model and
several clients that just call the display list.  Although there is a lot of
memory on GPUs now so 200 models of a sphere won't take up that much.
