I don't follow.  I mean, nothing varies while the program is running.  All
I'm saying is that the various terrain tiles are located in various
locations, so clearly they are translated so they aren't all on top of
each other.  At any rate, if I put all the tiles in a single trimesh the
program gets a higher framerate than if all the tiles are individual
objects.  That's all I've been saying.  Nothing more complex than that.
