	I am currently creating some geometry with the cxGeoTrisDefine
routine. I have 4096 separate objects which are small "glyphs"
approximately in the shape of cubes. They each consist of 8 points
and require 9 indicies in the connectivity mesh to specify. I've
noticed that Render takes about 5 minutes to draw this set of glyphs.
Since I need to consecutively render many sets of these glyphs, and
save the screen output of each rendering to make a movie, I am looking
for ways to speed up the process. I've thought of using another call,
such as cxGeoCylindersDefine, which lets me define only one object (i.e.
a group of 4096 cylinders) - would this save time rendering ? Also,
I have 2 processors on my machine, is there a way to speed things up
with parallel programming ? Thanks for your help.
