DrawElements faster than DrawArrays

Hi,

I posted a question on the iDevGames forums about vertex submission paths 
and relative speed, and was surprised to learn that (on Macs at least) 
glDrawElements() is notably faster (5-7%) than glDrawArrays() in most 
systems. I was wondering if this is the case on other platforms where 
G3DKit is being used, and if it would thus be worth producing an 
indexed-array geometryBackend class. I suppose it would be an additional 
subclass of the new G3DGeometryBackend class.

Cheers,

Brent
