Ok, I've added support for point sprites. I does indeed increase the 
framerate in my PC.
I find this a rather peculiar extension though. Especially since SGI has 
always been using point sprites without naming them.

You know, there's this thing about points, if you rotate at any given 
angle, them you still see the same shape...

Anyhow.
