dear Performers,

Can anyone tell me what difference in terms of main-memory consumption
we should expect when running perfly in 3pipes as opposed to single
pipe?

We are only able to test with a single hw-pipe (3 pfPipeWindows) and
what our tests seem to indicate is that memory consumption increases
greately (more than twice as much), when loading texture-HEAVY models.

Could it be that when loading textures on 3 pipes we end up having
three copies of each formatted texture image (all three presumably
identical)?

thanks for your help,

Paolo
