A pretty significant performance issue with the pose editor for robots that have per-face / per-vertex colors. This affects RobotTest, SimTest, and RobotPose, as well as Python code that tries to edit the robot's pose.
Briefly, the poser rebuilds a new display list every time because it copies the appearance, sets a flat color, which clears the openGL display lists. Then to display it, it creates a new display list, but then it destroys the appearance copy.
Possible solutions: store a persistent duplicate appearance/
