An open source project of mine, pycraft, has recently gotten some renewed attention. We learned that we were doing rendering very inefficiently, using "static" when we should have done stream. Our big project right now is making it easier for contributors to contribute.

Can you expand on this? Did you use 'static' for VBOs that were only used for one or two frames?

I can not. Graphics aren't my thing. All I can say was that there was quantifiable improvement.

But that's the beauty of open source. If you'd like to investigate it yourself it's the first issue. Getting someone competent involved in the graphics subsystem is another priority ;p
