What's your approach to efficiently render that many cubes? You're not using some instancing technique?

If you can skip invisible sides, that tells a lot about your drawcall efficiency

HAhahaha, lol, no wonder people moan about irrlicht FPS

I mean you dont generate the mesh polygons for invisible sides!
