Yes, display lists were the single thing that increased my speed as well- tripling it to over 60fps with huge maps and objects with my thousands of quads (I really must start using triangles).

And it's not just the Python function calls (which we know are slow) - the PyOpenGL wrapper actually does error checking for you on every call, so it can raise an assertion if something goes wrong. The overhead of this error checking adds to the function call slowness. Even more reason to use display lists or otherwise group your data. -Dave LeCompte
