TextureLoader is capable of loading "textures" / "images" of sizes other than powers of two. It will automatically adjust the image for you. So it can be flexible if you let it. (I try to make all my textures powers of two so such adjustments aren't necessary)
To add to John's point - if you provide them as powers of two directly, that saves having an extra copy of the image floating around in memory too at some point during the process. If you have moderately sized textures ( >256x256) then that can add up to quite a lot of memory being used.
