[jitter] Multiple Versions of a model

Hi guys,

I want to be able to use multiple versions of an animated model that I can move and scale independantly of each other. I have written a patch that does this (below) and works well using the apple model in the extras folder that comes with Jitter. 

The problem is that the .obj I wish to use is about 30Mb in size and contains group ID's for me to animate. My patch really doesn't like this and the frame rate drops to something like 17 - even without any animation going on.

Am I going about this the right way as I'm not sure what is causing the bottle neck and making the frame rate drop so drastically?

Cheers

Andy
