Wow. This is hilarious. Dude, I dont give a damn about him not giving a damn about low poly. (I don't usually cuss I just thought it would sound funny) 311,000 polys is insane! My computer mkay not be as great as all yours but it's alright and it cant even come close to 300K without going slow at least. I think we all see the reason he uses poly-smooth so much. Lack of skill/ beginner. It's ok. But wow, no. You cannot justify that by "not giving a damn about low-poly". It wouldn't even be practical for an animation. I know my comp would be freezing up trying to animate something with that.
Anyway, wow that really bothered me. So I tried it myself. Below I posted both a sword I made poly-smoothed twice, and also one polysmoothed about as much as my comp could handle (5 or 6) Can't tell the difference. But then look at the wireframes. That's insane dude.
