It is the feature in [[FreeSpace Open]] that allows users to exceed the polygon limit of retail FreeSpace (somewhere around 800 polies). For most users, this also speeds up gameplay by taking much of the load off of the CPU. Thus the slowdown the higher-quality models would normally cause becomes inconspicuous.
