BTW, are there any sideffects of running pix_texture this way or is
this pretty much a transparent fix for this setup?

Rectangle textures improve performance quite a bit on the Mac, but don't seem to do much on Windows or Linux.

P.S. Perhaps it would be nice to overhaul the documentation to reflect
this important issue (it would've saved me 2 1/2 days of hacking :-)
and if googling is any indicator of the current state I am sure others
may benefit from it too. I'll gladly supply a new patch if someone
could upload it to Gem CVS since I do not have dev access to it.

I'll have a look at the pix_texture code in the near future and see if we can improve the default settings for texturing on each platform.
