...difference in file size between 2 and 3?
I cannot remember the details, and do not think I saved the test files, but the difference in size is significant. Of course, there may be good reasons to use very high-res images and models. But not always. Point of the Tin can thread 8292, was just to show an example of how far it is possible to go in vertices. I think Cec' may have done some rendeering speed tests too in the same thread (or elsewhere). What you could do, is taking your barge hull and do a limited dissolve with Blender. My bet is that you could bring it far down without any noticable difference in display quality. That should give you a good indication.
