It may be a false economy though... as display listing will be duplicating the vertex data to be able to put in a form that the hardware can digest, so you may be just moving the memory problems elsewhere. > While understand for many using osg::DrawElements*() is the best approach, > that should not preclude others that need > The older functionality.

I don't plan on dropping the support completely for platforms that support it.
