mental ray will load in the texture, uncompressed at the original bit depth. The only exception is half-float EXRs, which are expanded into full-float internally.

Isn't that the same as if you use OpenEXR Wavelet?
As long as it is a texture loader, MRay still keeps the uncompressed image in memory...
There would only be a difference if you use a custom shader instead of the default texturing node.
One question I never tested: Someone knows if Mray will load the texture as float into memory, no matter if you use an 8bit texture?

First they should speed up the animation interaction compared to other packages...
