Hi Guys,

I ve been thinking more about this and I come up with an idea of having
general purpose large db plugin that will use PageLOD. There are some
formats around nowdays like TerraPage, OpenFlight, MetaFlight (well, this
one is an xml and it works mostly with OpenFlight files). TerraPage has each
lod and each tile available in the archive, and I know there are some
approaches to have the similar schema with OpenFlight as well (both
TerraVista and Creator Terrain Studio can export each LOD of a tile
separately). So my idea is to make most of the TerraPage like handling
(Robert wrote the TileMapper needed for smart mesh management in the
TerraPage loader) available natively  for large database management of any
format. This includes proper tile management (similar to what is in in the
txp loader).

Another issue I discussed with Robert is memory pools for fast and small
allocations. I ve done some tests and the results are promising. Things like
vertices can be allocated from the pool and perhaps other objects that are
heavily used.

Thoughts?
