• 10: Area on screen. Is this the approximate # of pixels this texture covers on-screen?
• 11: Desired Discard Level. (see Discard definition) What determines what level we desire?
• 12: Requested Discard Level. This is the clients record of the last discard level requested to the server. This *should* be the same as Desired Discard Level. If it's not the same, this may indicate a logic error in the texture priority code.
• 13: Decode Priority.
• 14: Requested Decode Priority.
• 15: Decode. This bar fills up as the requested texture is downloaded and decoded. This is basically a download progress bar for the textures current Desired Discard Level.

Definitions

Decode - Uncompressing a downloaded texture, in SL's case a JPEG2000 texture, into memory (and pushing it onto the video card?)

Discard Level - A discard level of 0 means the highest available detail version of the texture. Discard level 1 means the second highest detail version, which is roughly 1/2 the resolution and 1/4 the memory footprint on the video card.
