setup — stream images into RAM + VRAM

load images from hard drive every frame > requires an SSD HD
look into DXT5 compression _(seems like of only has three options — OF_COMPRESS_NONE || OF_COMPRESS_SRGB || OF_COMPRESS_ARB — but DXT5 might still be possible)_
load images into RAM only, then draw pixels into a buffer that gets displayed on the screen
- myImage.setUseTexture(false); myImage.loadImage("blah.gif");
- create only one image with a texture that is a size large enough to fit largest images
- push pixel data into that image _(might even be a way to push the pixel data directly into the texture with ofImage.getTextureReference())_
- call ofImage.updateTexture(); after pushing pixel data to make sure texture is updated (might be a performance bottleneck)
- draw only the sub-section of the texture that matches the images dimensions to screen buffer — ofImage.drawSubsection()
acquire a presentation machine with more VRAM (8 + GB?)
try to predict likely images to show next and stream them in/out of RAM + VRAM
