Hm, that's a little weird. It should count the actually used tex mem,
but that seems to be not working right.

I don't think we ever did this automatically, but I might be wrong.

Yeah, like too many of them are. We might need to be much more
aggressive in optimizing loaded models, and let people explicitly
deactivate the optimizations if they don't want them.

No, the scaling is not done on the image but using gluScaleImage before
the texture definition. They are still scaled, though. ;) Doing it
offline just reduces load time, the texture memory is unchanged.

Hm, that is weird.
