Thanx..
I found out that the real hogger is my damned gradient texture.. If I cchange it
to a solid colour on every branch(stilll everything textured by itself) I
reduuce memory with a fex mb'2 (21 to 18, I think) and if I remove the
individual colouring all together, it drops to 11Mb ... But it doesn't look as
great then.. *sighs*
