Thnak you for your reply.

I am using the data points in the following link

http://www.cse.ust.hk/~jamesjjx/bunny_final.pts

I have tried to insert all the points at the same time using the iterator.
The insertion process takes about 1 minute.

As you mentioned earlier that it should takes a few seconds depending on the computer used,
may I ask if 60 seconds is still reasonable? Or it should still a bit faster?

Thank you very much
