--- Comment #10 from Christian Lanig freedesktop@lanig.email --- The bug pretty nicely demonstrating how textures load might lead to a useful way to debug engines while I don't see any performance impact? I'm no game developer and I don't know whether the behavior can be reproduced for any game but I got the idea that just turning a switch like a dev driver mode to make the loading of textures this clear is much easier than writing his own.
