Interesting article on VRAM (and memory) management

Here's an excellent article about treating VRAM as managed memory:

It also talks about a system to swap tiles/sprites in and out of VRAM, and managing a sprite list.
I've contacted the author to get a copy of the source code mentioned in the article.
