Hi Duncan,
I am thinking about two things which might help you:
1) try using geometry by reference as introduced with J3D 1.2. Then you
could use System.arraycopy(..) to recreate things which should be very fast.
2) some (possible urgly) fix would be: since you said only 3% of your data
changes, just create the geometry with an upper bound of your number of
vertices, then set all unused strips to some dummy point like (0,0,0) (so
they won´t be rendered as triangles), later just change things in the
geometry array which is passed by reference (see above).
Maybe, another thing would be to use immediate mode rendering,...
Regards,
Marco.
