As far as have to rebuild D3DX-Mesh functionality with my own 3D-Engine I would be very interrested to know what this parameter of ID3DXMesh::Optimize() exactly does, because obviously it has an impressive impact on performance. Any doc''s about that anywhere? Thanks, Ole PS: And yes, I already know that it reorders faces for a better cache hit. I need it a bit more specifically

Specifically it makes that all the vertices are accesssed in order and makes them so that most used vertices are in cache when they are needed to be used. If you want more detail, see Hoppe''s paper of Vertex caching.
