Is the a limit on the dimensions of a texture?
I'm thinking of going pretty big so as to avoid visible repeats.
So long as the texture MB size is reasonable, all is good, right?

Re: Dimensions for texture?
I've never run into an issue.
But, that said, I always use a fixed/specific size for a task or tileable when variability is needed.

File size is only part of the equation and that really only impacts network performance. Each image you use on your map has to be transferred to each client. While most image assets won't be individually very large, they can add up.
The other part is how much memory is used. This is a function of the actual pixel dimensions of the image. A 4k x 4k texture will take up 64MB of memory.

If the tiled image is a jpeg, you can go pretty big. My swamp pattern is 4000x4000 and is only 5 megs and doesn't cause any lag or other issues that I can see.

Nice!
How come the performance is so much better with jpeg than with png?

Number of colors for image is reduced and image isn't as detailed, but that doesn't usually matter too much for backgrounds.
