faster rendering by ADDING polys!

I'm sure most of you have seen this, but I think it's worth sharing.

It's only useful in certain situations.

A good example of where it's important to divide up a large polygons into smaller ones is when you have a large surface being covered up by smaller objects. Like a compter, keyborard, speakers, etc.. sitting on a desk. You don't want the whole desktop to render since it's going to be covered up for the most part anyway. A way to be sure the whole desk doesn't render is to divide the desk surface into smaller polygons. Less time will be wasted rendering things that won't be seen anyway.
