[jitter] Benefits of using Poly~ with OpenGL?

Hi,
I am just wondering if anybody knows if there is any benefit in using a Poly~ object in combination with OpenGL objects. Below is example code of a test I have have put together.

If there are any benefits would anybody mind explaining to me what these may be so that I may make a more educated decision whether to continue with this or not.

Many Thanks

Andy
