IIRC, that application is also a pretty good demonstration of Performer's 
ClipTextures, which allow the management of much larger textures than will 
fit into physical texture memory.  I think ClipTextures are implemented 
using special hardware on the Onyxes, so that demo will need some major 
surgery to work on a PC!
