That pretty much sums up the fur plugin. It generates one polygon for each strand of fur/grass/hair/etc. It's nice for small amounts of the stuff, but if you're looking to make a full head of hair on a character, it's probably not practical --- creates quite a bit of geometry.

Lisa's example is a texture-based solution, I believe, which would be much more practical for larger amounts of hair.
