i dont know if you are using multilple textures. if that is the case. make your entity dynamic.
but if you have alot models that are dynamic. it will slow your pc.
(why should you slow your pc only to show textures?)

its better to make a new UVmap for your entity, textured that.
and make it static.

Nope. Textures don't slow your PC down. If the entity is dynamic, it means it has to run the physics engine. So that's what lowers the performance.

If you can see the enemy, they can see you.

Of course textures slow your PC down.

I'd love to see things from your point of view but I can't get my head that far up my bum.

I think we mean the same only with different words.

Try using a 4096x4096 in a game of yours, that will lag the whole game, not even a hardcore game development kit like UDK can handle that much quality. Textures will slow your PC down because the Graphics Card has to render every pixel of it perfectly, therefore meaning that larger textures take longer to render and, dependant on the Graphics Card, can slow the game down drastically .
