...What is VBO and what do you want to use it for?

I converted the interior renderer to use VBO and saw zero performance gain... I did run out of time and it's possible that I missed something crucial once I actually had them in a shared VBO...

Josh Ritter,
Could you tell me what is the way that you add VBO to TGE?

I would suggest looking at the vertex buffer extensions already present on torque (used in the opengl2d3d wrapper), and replace those calls to use a different extension, like the ARB vbo extention.
(Assuming that the D3D vertex buffer wrapper and the ARB vertex buffer function similarly)
