[3ddesktop-dev] Re: 3ddesk CPU Usage Spike?

Is there a way to reduce the texture quality?
I noticed that in SphereXP on the Windows side that setting the quality to a 
lower level dramatically improved performance.
The object characteristics are still obvious enough to distinguish which is 
which.
If there is a similar way to reduce the precision of the objects not currently 
in use, that may be useful.
