What are display lists in the BGE? Should I enable them? How? :spin:
EDIT: I found how to enable them; in the Game menu, right? Still, what are they? Are there any disadvantages to enabling generating display lists? The advantage is a speed-up, right?

Did you run a quick forum search before asking?
