Excessive verts upon upload?

[Murry Soothsayer]

Something odd i noticed just now.. maybe an old thing. But for some reason whenever I upload a mesh onto the mesh grid the reported number of verts is almost 300% what the model actualy has. The poly count is right.. and if i re-import the collada into max it still has the right statistics.. but when put into SL it just.. blows up. 900 vert object turns into a 2500 vert one for no decernable reason. Its as if its unwelding every vert and triplicating them in some sort of horrificaly inefficent manner. I cant tell if its something Im doing wrong or if its just the importer for SL is breaking things up for some reason.

OMG! I'm sorry I'm even posting this but when I first read what you wrote, I misread it as "Excessive warts". I'm so embarrassed.
