There is the osgDB::SharedStateManager writen to help share textures between successively loaded databases. I haven't personally used in it in apps, but others have. You can also tell the .ive plugin to write images externally. See the src/osgPlugins/ive/ReaderWriterIVE.cpp for details on the options that control it.

Yeah, I've tested this database on many different computers (not every test
of course). Nvidia, ATI, Intel, AMD, SLI, etc.
Does anyone know how textures are shared? Say I have 4 files that all have
the same texture embedded in them: A.ive, B.ive, C.ive, D.ive. Or I have
one file that contains all the geometry of A, B, C, and D with the one
texture embedded in it.
1) A.ive,B.ive,C.ive,D.ive -> 4 duplicate textures
2) E.ive contains A,B,C,D geometry -> 1 texture
This also will apply to shared geometry. Say I have a light bulb model that
is in each of the A, B, C, D ive files. Is the geometry for the light bulb
reloaded 4 times?
This may be a factor. My paged database contains a lot of duplicate
textures, and geometry. This is why I was asking if there is anyway to
create an ive file that doesn't contain embedded textures.

This seems counter-intuitive.
My experience has been that more, smaller pieces usually compile/download
more smoothly.
I am not sure where to continue investigating.
I don't recall, have you tested this on a computer with a significantly
different configuration? Different CPU and/or graphics card?
