I would suspect 'full decompression'. Do you mean jpeg with quality set
to 100 ? If yes, then it is not a 'decompression'.

It depends on the image, but 400K of jpeg-even-with-100-quality is a
LOT. Just checked, 1600x1000 image (noise function, so not very
complicated, but full RGB) compresses to 224k. So I would suspect 400kb
jpeg to be around 1600x1600. In true color it would take about 10MB
after decompressing. Java/Java3d in some cases likes to keep 4 versions
of texture, at least for some time...

Please tell us, how big are your textures in pixels and color depth, not
how much they take on disk. Then we will be able to help you. If 400kb
figure is for real usage (which would mean for example truecolor 320x320
pixels image), then please ignore my post.
