We should be able to serialize models when we load them. For example, when we load an object file (say foo.obj), we should be able to save it as src/cache/foo.model. Then our ModelFactory can look for foo.model and create the model from the serialized data if foo.model exists, rather than parsing foo.obj every time.
This is a performance win if we can serialize all the models needed for the game as parsing obj/mtl files is much more expensive than just loading the serialized model object.
