[JAVA3D] Large #'s of raster images & labels

[Smith, David]

I am currently using raster images to display
labels for geometric entities.  The problem is that
if you have an object with a large number of 
entities, each raster (eg 20x16) will consume LARGE
amounts of memory. In fact in my case I run out
of memory on the galleon model from the j3d demos.

I'm currently reusing ImageComponents in the
raster's for duplicate lables.  For example,
Face ID of 50 and Edge Id of 50 both use the same 
ImageComponent.

Is there a more efficient way of displaying labels?

Thanks for any advice,
-DaveS
