[ FF8 ] Decreased performance on world map when using external textures about ffnx HOT 3 OPEN

@myst6re FYI

from ffnx.

To add to this i'm using my pack i converted from the old Horizon Pack (Legacy) - https://drive.google.com/file/d/11ocgYlzCxYDD0JKas1ur7PUr3p_WG1-V/view?usp=sharing

As covered in my guide - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252361363

"mods\Textures\world\dat\wmset\section38" is the worst impact (16fps)
everything other section in "mods\Textures\world\dat\wmset" only has a slight impact (26-30fps)

Textures are 4x up scaled

Dug a bit further and when using any of the smaller textures in \section38\ folder that were 16x* or x16 or 32x or *x32 and such this happens (which most of them are), possibly because they aren't on the same vram page?

from ffnx.

Several recommendations:

• Do not use texl, prefer per vram page replacement (section38/texture0_texture1_16_0_0.dds)
• Prefer per vram page replacement or lower resolution for animated textures AND textures that are impacted by the animated textures (because there are on the same VRAM page), see the full list below

Per VRAM page replacement for animated textures will be soon available via the PR #696

Animated or impacted by animated textures
