Same on that front, it took me a while to figure out to use control edges properly (without subDing the model too much)... still working on modeling more efficiently and conserving polys. Here's a comparative illustration of how smoothing subdivision works with and without control edges. Also see

It's just one of the modeling considerations too keep in mind when making things for Poser's smoothing routine and hard edges in Poser :)

This is some of the things I was doing without even realizing I was doing it. So now that I know, I can make a conscious decision to use control edged and bevels, and do it smartly.
Thank you for that.
