Hi! Sorry for this late answer, I was a bit swamped lately.

In fact, I overlooked that completely. I just fear building a buffer from zero to something like 400,000 * 3 * 4 bytes = just under 5 MiB would imply too many moves as you mention. Now, I am anyway moving towards a binary file that would be fed directly into the buffer rather than needing decoding, and partitioning it into several chunks in order to optimize the number of triangles displayed. I think I’ll use NSData to store these chunks. Thanks to all for the precious help!
