I would think that scenery such as ground terrain, trees, etc. would  
be ideal for using this "static" flag and thus become eligible for  
storage in display lists.  Furthermore, if all such objects had  
normals computed for them, then perhaps OpenGL's built-in backface  
culling could be used when drawing them.
