[Papervision3D] Speed up Flash with stage quality

[Neven '7even' Jacmenović]

Sure. I don't use this any more. That was back then when optimization and
memory allocation where myths for me, and quality switcher was a magical
speed increase from heaven. :)

Unlike other programming languages (php eg), premature optimization in AS3
is NOT a root of all evil. You really have to think your way through from
the beginning of application programming. What I discovered so far while
working in as3 - there are tricks which help you gain some speed
(cacheAsBitmap, and BitmapData in general) but most important thing is
having your own garbage collection. removeEventListener, loader.unload,
bitmapdata.dispose.. null...  etc.

And there are that micro optimization techniques for heavy mathematical
loops, for which I am not that enlighten yet. :)
