The DatabasePager doesn't cache any imagery or nodes itself. The Registry has a cache that you can enable but it's off by default. There is also now (in SVN/2.7.x) an osgDB::FileCache class that wraps up a file cache. > Is there anything to deal with loading textures onto the graphics card, > dishing out texture IDs rather than reloading the texture onto card memory? You can't just directly down data to the GPU, you have to load from disk into main memory then have the OSG download this imagery to the textures to OpenGL. This is all done for you, the OSG will handle texture object ruse and us texture subloading to keep everything efficient.
