Accessing textures from host memory can be very inefficient.  But it
depends on what you're doing.  If you're going to use the whole
texture, it's FAR better to copy it into graphics memory.  If you're
running low, then you can always kick out one that hasn't been used
recently (kick out means simply free the memory unless you know it's
been modified since you last copied it in).
