[vtkusers] Need help for modification in vtkFeatureEdges !

Hi,

I have a scene I'm rendering which consists of about 4000 to 4500 
cuboids. It looks much better if the edges of each cuboid are accented 
in some way. Currently I'm doing this by adding a second actor for each 
cuboid, which has identical transform, but is set to display as 
wireframe. This adds a lot of overhead. I tried using vtkFeatureEdges, 
which at first was so resource intensive that it just crashed. After 
reading the recent post about using the vtkNullLocator that was 
provided, I tried again. It's much, much better that way, but still 
performs somewhat worse than just adding the second set of cuboids. Can 
anyone recommend an alternative solution? Thanks,

Josh
