Dear Performers,

we have a problem regarding texture memory management using
Performer 2.1 on an Onyx iR (2 RM6 boards with 16MB texture
memory).

What we like to do is to trigger a texture download some
frames before we will need the texture for rendering. In the
meantime the simulation should continue without a loss of
rendering performance.

The call to texture->load() seems to block until the texture
is resident in texture memory.

Thanks for any help.

Michael
