How to improve the speed of vtkRendering?

[Ken Martin]

<x-flowed>The first thing to try is using triangle strips. Most graphics cards render 
triangle strips much faster than independent polygons or triangles. Usually 
putting in a triangle filter followed by a stripper will do the trick. Also 
if your data is not changig, then usually immedatemoderenderingoff should 
be faster since it uses display lists. Finally, of course there is a 
relationship between rendering speed and the capabilities of your graphics 
card. If your graphics card can only render 100K polys/sec then there is 
nothing VTK can do to go faster than that without changing your data. The 
alternative is to reduce your data using a technic such as vtkDicmatePro.
