800 divisions is *TOO* much divisions ! You can get, + or -,  the same visual effect with 200 division and consuming much less memory. If you use only one sphere with same properties,you can set your Sphere to not shared geometry by adding Primitive.GEOMETRY_NOT_SHARED ORed with Sphere flags.   Ale
