But it will crash if you don't have enough RAM.
Cool. Is the plan eventually merge both the keep-loaded and prefetch solutions into main then, or just the latter?

Thanks, this is exactly the sort of thing I wanted to know.

Would it be difficult to run a check for available RAM against the size of the textures to be loaded and throw an error if there's not enough?
