Do you mean an aggregation of arbitrary, geometric primitives by 
'Object'? The idea here is to use a compile action on the respective 
subtree which would generate an optimised (internal!) represenation for 
the renderer of choice. This is hence not an application specific 
optimisation, but application specific optimisations on the scene graph 
level will still be required to maximise rendering performances.
