Should I call getTexture out of render loop ?

[Tchernobill]

Hi,

 

Do you think I should continue to call getTexture within the render loop or is it worth the added work/complexity to store getTexture to minimise thoses calls.

 

1/ keep it simple s.

function ISUICustom:render()
	self:drawTexture(getTexture("MyPrettyPic.png"), 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1);
end

2/ preload getTexture

function ISUICustom:render()
	self:drawTexture(self.texture, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1);
end

function ISUICustom:new()
	self.texture = getTexture("MyPrettyPic.png");
end
