Penalty while uploading vertex buffer

[Asshen]

How big is the penalty of uploading a vertex buffers object's vertex buffer to graphic memory ?

Thank you.

Time needed by processor to send data + little more.
Not so much, thoughts. I guess it's comparable(maybe 2-3 times slower) to rendering with arbitrary varrays

Thank you.
I'll experiment with it http://www.opengl.org/discussion_boards/ubb/smile.gif
