Too many texture files?
 

Hey gang! So I've been working on a new UI, mostly for personal use, so I really haven't given much thought to how large the thing would be to download. I'm worried about all the texture files I've created causing lag. See, I've made 12-frame animations for the flyby effect, and it comes down to 150 individual buttons I have to cram in for the ten hotkeys to animate on the hotbutton window. I've spread that across four 256x256 images. Then I have two more 256x256 images for the left and right arrows and their respective animations, and a final 256x256 image for the background. So now I have 7 image files for one window.

I guess I'm just curious to know if anyone has noticed that a point where you begin lagging due to loading too many texture images. Thoughts?

any ui with alot of images on the screen will make you lag if you dont have the memory for it, or if your vidio card is crud..
