Yeah, as far as I know, using it in conjunction with uv-coords, it’d actually be a bit slower. The up-side is, however, that you don’t have to subdivide the triangles to make up for linear texture mapping, which makes everything before rasterization faster (and you definately don’t need to use rather slow realtime perspective-corrected subdivision). Another speed-up posibility is the fact that – similar to OpenGL – you can use it to draw triangle strips rather than seperate triangles. The problem with this is how to recognize triangle strips, because after z-sorting (which is still necessary since we don’t have a z-buffer) triangles leave the pipeline in quite an arbitrary position… A lot of food for thought on my end

I’ve been quite busy the past few weeks, but since this last post I’ve had some time to work on some things (some issues that I deemed trivial became major), and I’ve been able to do quite a bit in a relatively short time. However, after that I became swamped with work, haven’t been able to do squat, and this past week I decided I needed to relax in my free time (and beat Gears of War 2) I’ll be back at it soon tho! (if now I can resist Fable 2…)
