Here's the code https://gist.github.com/MichaelBaker/4429c93f2aca04bc79bb.
I think I have everything important in there. Line 53 is the one that
causes the slow down. I guess some things to note are that "Triangle" is
Storable and the vector I'm creating on line 14 and writing to on line 47
is a mutable storable vector.

Also, thanks Alp, I'll look into this when I get home. Although I don't
think my computer has more than one graphics card (it's a Macbook Air).
