Performer uses an internal format of GL_RGB5_A1 as default. This reduces
the number of bits/component from 8 to 5.You can go over the list of
textures and run
pfTexFormat (tex, PFTEX_INTERNAL_FORMAT, PFTEX_RGBA_8);

/usr/sbin/fromtargaIf it is not install, you should install the
eoe.sw.imagetools from the IRIX 6.4 installation CD.
