Alright, I looked again and made sure to follow the allocated size across tens or hundreds of texture loads happening within a couple of minutes and it looks you're right, it does seem to go down once in a while, although by amounts not really comprehensible to me. Admittedly, that could be the behaviour of my code though. At any rate, thanks for your answer! :-)
