RE: [Algorithms] ROAM

True, but for a real apples-to-apples comparison it probably needs to be in
the same framework/application. Also, Thatcher's chunk-lod is yet _another_
separate case because he's doing vertex morphing as well, which again pushes
CPU time up but also increases quality-per-triangle.

So that's three methods Josh missed - any more want to pile in while we're
ripping him a new one :-)
