It has quite a lot of good classed, but are over complicated and should only be used as examples. I had a problem in the past with this and found that cutting the visual classes down ( eg. Not using 8 lines to create a 3dBox ) made a vast improvement. Also you will find that the system resources should be reduced and there will be less chance of the classic Newera crash where the app just bombs out without any warning or exceptions being rasied.
