I advise you not to use display lists even on old hardware. Lots of drivers have buggy implementations and anyway they are emulated with VBOs under the hood. I get better performance with VBOs except on hardware that emulate them with vertex arrays even in static draw mode. I advise you to use static VBOs and to use the constant indicating the maximum element count in order to avoid creating too big ones in order to keep decent performance.
