Is this a commercial project ? because 16-20 second load times are not
'adequate'. Also I don't see how this has any affet whatsoever on the design
of your 3d engine, you have to do the exact same procedures. I'm just
proposing you do it once, as apposed to once every time the level is loaded.

Mine solution is O(1) yours is O(n)
