Does anyone out there know of any work on profiling  3D graphics rendering 
packages ? I'm interested in particular on how much time is spent in each 
phase of the process :
* geometric transformations
* hidden surface removal
* antialiasing
* shading
* texture mapping etc ...
Results would of course depend on the type and complexity of the image
as well as a million or so other factors, but that's what makes it
interesting ...
