Does RVIZ optimize the triangle primitives in the STL into trifans and tristrips? I am assuming that since DAE is a geometry based format that its mesh primitives include optimized fans and strips? So will there be a performance benefit using DAE over STL while rendering?

I don't know the actual answer, but RViz delegates mesh loading to Assimp. Assimp works with 'hints', and depending on the hints set will perform various processing steps while loading meshes.
I guess our goal is to put a full fidelity model into RVIZ and Gazebo. Are there contacts responsible for the loaders that we could get maybe get a definitive workflow for optimizing mesh imports?
I'm not aware of any specific devs responsible for mesh loading in particular, but @William is the maintainer of RViz.
The mesh loading code is here.
What is "high fidelity"? Any faces/vertex count you can give us? I've seen some pretty unoptimised geometry (ie: straight dump from SolidWorks, 60k+ vertices) being rendered at high FPS, but it depends on the hw.
