Meshes are collections of surfaces, which are collections of triangles. Entities use meshes, but don't own them; a single mesh can be shared by multiple entities. When you copy an entity, you are not copying the mesh. Theoretically, it should be faster to render multiple instances of the same geometry (i.e. mesh) because the vertices only need to be sent once.
