Fast Bezier splines (around 7000 curves)

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hello!

I try
1)

     gluBeginCurve(theNurb);
        gluNurbsCurve(theNurb,
                     KnotsCount,
                     @curveKnots[0],
                     3,
                     @ctrlpoints[0, 0],
                     4,
                     GL_MAP1_VERTEX_3);
      gluEndCurve(theNurb);

or
2)

 
    glMap1f(GL_MAP1_VERTEX_3, 0.0, 1.0, 3,PointsCount, @ctrlpoints[0, 0]);
      glEnable(GL_MAP1_VERTEX_3);
        glBegin(GL_LINE_STRIP);
          for j := 0 to 30 do
            glEvalCoord1f(j / 30.0);
        glEnd;
      glDisable(GL_MAP1_VERTEX_3);

But I get slow repainting of curves((((
These curves (around 7000) are in one display list.

How can I draw Bezier splines more fastly? Or Is possible to draw Bezier splines only with glVertex without glMap1f and gluNurbsCurve?

the idea is to preprocess your patches into something hardware friendly, like triangle-strips.
