UT's OpenGL renderer doesn't delete any textures (it only gets rid of
textures en bloc when you enter or restart a level) so I highly doubt that
texture thrashing is UT's fault - especially as even the biggest levels
(including lightmaps) fit easily on a 64MB card. Make sure to enable
precaching (DoPreache IIRC) as this will precache all world textures (not
lightmaps). So once you ran around in a level there shouldn't be any texture
uploads except dynamic lighting and procedural textures for fire and water.

Still happy you are working on the texturing code?

/me ducks ;-)
