Hi,
i really have next to no GEM knowledge, but i was always asking
myself whether GEM compiles the GL commands to display lists.
If yes, is that structured by using separate gemheads, if no, why
isn't it used?
If display lists are used i would think it shouldn't make a lot of
difference
A display list is useful for static geometry which is why it makes sense for
the model object. It does not make much sense for the Geos that allow the
changing of the vertex data (sphere, cylinder, etc) since the compiling of
the list has to be done for each change which adds overhead.
I think

i guess you mean the one i mentioned earlier, which can be found in
examples/09.openGL/
