Vertex Array Client States

Will disabling and enabling client states slow my program down (if i do it a lot)?

Thanks

I’ve read that turning states on and off
can degrade performance… I can’t remember
where

to help minimize state changes
check out:
glPushClientAttrib()
glPopClientAttrib()

Thats what im asking if pushclientstate and popclientstate effect performance that much.
(I should have been more specific)

Why are you trying to get answers before you know if it’s going to be a problem. Simply bench it.
Use the HighPerformanceCounter and measure the performance of the alternatives you have.
