Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thank you for the information about the compilation error. I will check
it later, perhaps glew library version differs.

What you observe here is only the cached container size. Its size has
grown as texts are now stored there (as they are now cheaper to store,
so it is better to keep them in the video card memory).

There is also a noncached container which previously stored the
mentioned texts, and they had to be computed and sent every frame. Here
is the main benefit.

Regards,
Orson
