fast gl rendering

I don''t know the geometry of your face, so this is a tough one to answer. In order of speed, I would suggest using:

GL_TRIANGLE_FAN
GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP
GL_QUAD_STRIP
GL_TRIANGLES
GL_QUADS

GL_QUAD_STRIP and GL_TRIANGLES should maybe be reversed in the list, but GL_TRIANGLE_FAN and GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP are definitely the fastest.

Hope this helps.

my face consists of 4 verts(float x,y,z) and a texture. If I render it as triangles will the texture stay aligned across the face?

yes regardless of a quad or tris
glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_HINT?, GL_NICEST);

If you''re using 4 verts then go for a triangle strip. It will also make your code more compact.
