Using immediate mode (glBegin/glEnd) is simple and basic way of
rendering opengl, also the slowest one. Using vertex arrays and stuff
should decrease calls on rendering and be faster.

But like I said, speed increase in this case is propably minimal and
mostly benefit comes from littlebit cleaner code. I did not actually do
any performance evaluation to give numbers how much it changes speed,
but I can do if youre interested.
