Eh? How would millions of hotkeys be a
performance penalty? Even if they were indeed a million, it wouldn't
probably take more than 10 cycles per hotkey, or 1/100 of a second
on a 1 GHz machine to go through all the if's :)

And the dependancy graph hardly has to do anything with opengl, it avoids
unnecessary calculations which don't have a lot to do with graphics speed,
rather with deforms and updating the scene in general, not the screen.
