Gerd Platl did a great job of improving perfomance of toxiclibs mesh sketches, by using the GLGraphics library
here, this is great for processing-1.5.1, but sadly unavailable to those without a decent graphics card, and does not work online. For processing-2.0 there is the ability to use the retained mode with PShape. I have just posted a sketch to OpenProcessing
here, that illustrates how you can use the retained mode with toxiclibs (which sadly also doesn't work on line). However anyone who can view these sketches will appreciate the fantastic performance improvement available using newer OPENGL features compared to the original processing so I think Andres has done a great job, and it is unrealisic to expect any OLD_P3D renderer to be always be compatible.
