Registering new textures with opengl can take a noticable amount of time (especially when they are large.) Freeing memory (and any associated garbage collection) can actually be a *big* hit at times. It actually is a very complicated problem to do tile paging properly in a separate thread. What we have now mostly works but has grown pretty ugly in response to some of the practical difficulties with doing this well.
