[sldev] Texture caching/bandwidth/performance how to proceed

[Darien Caldwell]

Sorry, i tried this, and don't see the issue you're describing. All the 
textures I had cached at my last logoff were still cached after logging on 
(1.20 RC9).  are you sure you haven't flipped some wierd setting or 
something?
