Questions:

Are there any routines that will duplicate a geode and its geosets?
How can I compute/check how much space a given subtree is using?
Is it reasonably that two groups and three geodes with three quads each
needs 243K of memory?

Problem:
I have made my own geode-duplication routine which simply
creates a new geode with new geosets.
When using this routine I am first cloning two groups using
pfNode->clone() then calling my duplication routine on three geodes
containing three quads each with normals, colors, and texture coords..

After one such clone and duplication _243K_ has been used!!!

This definitely does not seem reasonably to me, can anybody come up with
any idea or explanation for this?
I am not copying geostates so the memory can not be due to multiple
texture copies.

PS. I have estimated the amount of memory used by counting made clones for
different PFSHAREDSIZES, for example 1600 clones with arenasize ~323Mb.DS.

Thanks in advance for any replies
  Jonas
