Tux has around ~3200 triangles, the track itself around ~10000, in
comparism the old geekokart has 870, the old tracks around ~1000.

No idea exactly how much polys todays gfx cards can handle, but due to
the horrible performance on startup I think the gfx card itself isn't
yet the problem, but more the collision code or something like that.

I am also not sure how plib internally works, so pumping the track as
one huge mesh to it might not be a good idea. Some of the other tracks
where broken up in little segments, which might make it easier to cull
these when they are out of the view.
