+    ; If true, textures generated dynamically (i.e. through osSetDynamicTextureData() and similar OSSL functions) are reused where possible
+    ; Chiefly, reuse occurs if a texture has already been generated with identical data and settings, and that texture contains no dynamic components
+    ; (e.g. images pulled from an external HTTP address).
+    ; Reusing previously generated textures results in a much faster update on the viewer but may cause issues if the viewer didn't receive all resolutions of the texture.
+    ; Currently, it will also increase asset cache use since temporary dynamic textures are no longer deleted.
+    ; Hence, currently considered experimental.
