People seem to have lost sight of the question; I know you can buy all sorts of
goodies that transform and render polygons jolly quickly.

This is IRRELEVANT!

There must be someone who reads comp.graphics that has actually
implemented a 3D modelling and rendering system.  What sort of
performance do you get? Is it minutes or milleseconds to render 20k
polygon scenes?


It really is a simple question.  Or does nobody actually implement large
3D graphics system these days?

	What gives.
