We add a code which checks for an extension that allows us to use unsigned
int as the data type for the indices which can support a large range of
indices vs unsigned short. iPad and other
earlier devices didn't support this extension which forced us to split the
geometry. Also even when we were under 65K but close to it, these devices
didn't perform well mostly because of their driver issues.

Now most of the devices support this extension and therefore no longer we
need to split the geometry. No splitting, better drivers, hardware and
therefore good performance.
