I wrote some scripts for a friend which let her sell a single object with multiple color options on subsets of prims, instead of creating a different object for each color permutation. I set it up with a pool of slave scripts in the root prim, and she tested it on a few customer with different numbers of slave scripts. Every single customer with a small slave pool complained when it took more than a few seconds to switch the textures.
She was happy when I told her that pretty soon all of that can be reduced to one script.
