[geeks] adventures in air conditioning

[Will Mc Donald]

As a once vaguely hardcore Quaker, most of the really good players running in
software and GL turned textures down to their dullest, blurriest settings
using mip_cap, mip_scale and the like. It made the players models stand out
better.

You might find that tuning these settings to minimize texture usage helps.
