I am not sure if you got my previous mail, since I didn't get it back in
info-performer distribution. Ok, here it goes again:

If you use the libpfutil texture download lists, there is a token that you
can activate in the source code ( ~/src/lib/libpfutil/tex.c ) that will show
you RM4 usage. You just have to add
#define WANT_TO_SEE_PERCENTAGE_OF_REALITY_ENGINE_RM_USAGE
and it'll tell you how much mem in bytes and % of RM4 use ( if you have RM5 you
can change the source just slashing the result by four ).
This will warn you when you overlap the tex mem limits and force main memory
paging.
If you need an example on how to use the download lists, perfly uses them in
the first PreDraw done.
It's wise to use them anyway, since you guarantee that all textures will be
loaded in tex mem at first frame drawtime.
