Shape List Demo
These are three examples:
One with no shape lists, and no buffered drawing.
One with simple buffered drawing. About 4x faster.
The last with complex buffered drawing. More than 850x faster.
Example One - No Shape Lists

This demo shows the speed of drawing a full grid of squares using no buffering.
For me this takes about 1.3 seconds per frame.
It is slow because we load all the points and all the colors to the card every
time.

This demo shows using buffered rectangles to draw a grid of squares on the
screen.
For me this starts at 0.500 seconds and goes down to 0.220 seconds after the
graphics card figures out some optimizations.
It is faster than demo 1 because we aren't loading the vertices and color
to the card again and again. It isn't very fast because we are still sending
individual draw commands to the graphics card for each square.

This demo shows drawing a grid of squares using a single buffer.
We calculate the points of each rectangle and add them to a point list.
We create a list of colors for each point.
We then draw all the squares with one drawing command.
This runs in about 0.000 seconds for me. It is much more complex in code
than the prior two examples, but the pay-off in speed is huge.
