Do bear in mind that OpenGL uses function calls to specify each element of
a vertex to be drawn (one for the position, one for the normal, one for
the texture coordinate, etc) and on modern hardware the effect of these calls
is probably just to write the parameters into a circular buffer in memory; so
the overhead could be more than you think.
