hi all while i am fixing my site and firewall
i came across a program that will chop a 16k png into 512x512.png tiles
in only ----( 8 MIN. )-----
image magick was taking 2.5 hours
it is called vips
and canbe found at
http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/

Also i have a early script for vips and cygwin
called chopvt and it can be found at

John,

for a 16k texture my latest virtualtex script should definitly not take much longer. The earlier version was far slower at the benefit of slightly more flexibility. Also it is crucial to use a very recent ImageMagick package, since the memory management for very large textures has been much improved according to the author.
