true/okay;

imho i have always presumed that Direct3D was just better
suited when it came to handling/dealing with textures.
and lots of ppl that use Direct3D often tell me this as well...

glAreTexturesResident() and glPrioritizeTextures()
;)

and with GL you rarely know what the driver is doing with textures,
this can suck at times.

The API doesn't affect whether you can make a texture cache.
