Note that contrary to plib, the textures are not bound when loaded but only when rendered the first time. So in theory there should be no ogl calls inside a loader. We shoud be able to run a bigger part of our loader code in a sperate thread and with very few change to the existing code. Of course this won't solve the 100k poly model case.
