Positive. Waited until everything had fully rezzed, turned slowly & 
repeated the process - etc. Stayed in one area about 30 minutes. Tped 
(actually warpPos'ed) to another area of the sim, then came right back - 
and texture loading was a slow as disk-based cache. Various other 
methods of testing backed up these results.
