More Objects and less draw calls? Or Fewer Objects and more draw calls?

Question

What should I be more concerned about processing wise ( we're talking iPhone development here ), more objects or more draw calls.

I had a 5 object character that produced 3 draw calls. I went back into the modelling program and separated the mesh into 7 objects ( lowering the vertex count per object ), which in turn dropped my draw calls to just 1 for the character. My question is simply, is it more costly to have the extra objects with the same amount of verts or is it more costly to have the extra draw calls?

The Answer is Testing.. Pull up your Stats and try different things.. It really depends on the platform you;re developing for as well! I see u wrote Iphone..Well honestly there are more things to consider then just CPU as far as performance..

Baking is also your friend! Use it where you can!
