I'll tell you what i see GtkRadiant 1.2.10 taking up in taskmanager, using
the "airport"
textures (sof2/base/textures/airport). Ill restart GtkRadiant for each test
and verify
each result a second time. I use Windows XP Pro with 512 megs of DDR and
an Athlon XP 1900+ cpu.

[After loading "airport" - Quality slider LOW - compression ENABLED, no maps

Mem usage: 126.5 MB (peak: 131 MB) VM Size: 389.5 MB

Pretty good compression if you ask me, but may still be a tad high for
slower systems,
especially after loading more then one texture subfolder. Although if i
understood
correctly i could use the "flush textures" command for that.

Looks like the quality slider doesn't really do anything, and the textures
look pretty
high quality to me (looking at the texture window). The reason i mention
this is
because the radiant that came with the Sof2 SDK basically had the exact same
memory problems, but were easily solved by changing the texture quality to a
lower
setting.

I'm sorry if im stating the obvious, which i probably am because this came
up before if
i remember correctly. But i hope this helps (o_O)
