Sure, you can find the models and the source code here:

Ok, I will try that. To be honest I never heared about it. I guess
it's someting related to the graphics card?

I was surprised too! The biggest file needs more than 8 hours to be
loaded! I created the wrl-files by referencing to the same tie.wrl 729
times, each time with a slightly different translation. Then I loaded
the files into 3DMax 8 and exported them to obj. This is why the
tie792.wrl is just a few KB small, while the corresponding tie792.obj
is about 180 MB big. However, I used exactly the same files for OpenSG
with obj and OpenSceneGraph.

Yes I did.

I also think I should repeat the test with another model.

That would be great!
Have fun in Charlotte,
