I've definately seen worst worlds than that (worst as in slower :-)
It is a very well done model! Congratulations!
Pitty not much can be done in terms of LOD to make it faster.

Getting 1fr/sec on a 500x400pixel window with a normal video card Viper
PCI(not OpenGL hardware accel.) on a P5-66 with 48MB Ram, running NT3.51 and
Webspace1.0
And that is on the external model.
BTW, some text in English would help us appreciate more what this project is
about! I can more or less imagine but some help would be welcomed!

PS. if you want to see something that will bring your Reality Engine to its
knees, have a look at http://www.bath.ac.uk/Centres/CASA/VRML/abbey.wrl.gz.
Disclaimer: it is a _BAD_ VRML as it has millions of faces, no textures and even
overlapping faces etc. Done by students a few years ago (using ACADr12),
needs serious reworking but I simply haven't got any time to do it yet.
Maybe December... BTW, it is 1.4MB compressed
