Downloading the textures from lhowon now.

My landscapes looked fine in JPEG, but then I was using "highest quality - 12" (in Photoshop terminology) compression levels on them.

Nice load time. I just times myself here, I get about a minute loading the first level on my old G4 dual 450. Now you get why I really wanted smoother progress bars? :-)

The most stable (least likely to be changed any time soon) texture set is probably set 4, so if you'd like to convert that, I'll be happy to check it out. I don't think any one set is any more or less likely to look bad under high compression than another set would be.

: I see what you mean about the intro screen timing, that's fixed now :)

Woot! Thanks Gregory!
