How does it compare with #2212 ?

I find it a bit misleading that claiming it remove WebGL1 support but it still render as in "WebGL1" would do, e.g. it duplicates points for each cells (see vtkCellArrayBufferObject). This is big bottleneck when it comes to rendering initialization and memory usage.

It can be done in a second pass though.
