Polygon Statistics

Hi
We are currently building numerous modelled environments for
differing SGI platforms. We have allocated a "guide line" number of
polygons per scene content for each varying scene. What seems to be
a problems is that on viewing our scenes on perfly, with the GFX
option on statistics, it seems that the polygon statistic information
also includes backfacing polygons. Is there any option we can add
into perfly to obmit backfacing polygon data. We realise that the
backfacing polygons have no draw or frame rate overhead but it would
be helpful to see how many full facing/processed polygons are being
displayed at any one time.
We are aware of "tri-strip" and "fill" time recommended
modelling methods but in real world complex scenes all the rules
cannot be totally adhered to. If there are any other guide lines
that are available for complex open flight scenes or suggestions to
improve performance we would be most interested.
Much Thanks.
