[sldev] Texture Garbage Collection (was Re: UMA Grid - Offline for a bit)

[Jonathan Freedman]

I once asked a Linden about this (as it related to a libsecondlife 
project). The answer I got was that there is garbage collection, but it 
takes quite a while for it to kick in. And only if the texture is not in 
anyones inventory, or an in-world object. I don't believe it took into 
account textures on items in inventory. Similarly, if the texture is 
only ever referenced via key in a LSL script, it may be a wise idea to 
keep a copy in your inventory.
