The pause you're experiencing is just the game loading up all those big texture files, just wait a couple of minutes - it will happen.
As for the black and purple texture, I had the same issue (I think it's something to do with the compression)
To fix, go into the resource pack's folder (the [1.6.2]_R3D.CRAFT_Default_Realism_512x_v0.1.1.zip) and then go to assets>minecraft>textures>blocks and open up the problematic texture in paint.net, photoshop, or really anything that allows for image resizing. In paint.net (that's what I use, anyways) go to Image>Resize and set the Resampling to Nearest Neighbor, check 'By absolute size:', uncheck 'Maintain aspect ratio' and change the width & height to 512x512. Click okay and you're good. The trouble you're probably having is that the texture was 512x511 or something similar. Edit:I just checked the folder; it appears that the sapling texture isn't there yet. I would try copying the texture over from the default pack and putting it into the resource pack manually. Strange that it does that though, the game should replace all missing textures with their default counterparts automatically.
I wait for a while then it stops loading and just puts the default on. It never loads all of the way.
There's a bug with the furnace's on animation (at least with the 64x and, I assume, lower) that it looks like one of your layers seems to shift down or up on half of the frames.
man 1.6 changed everything. cant i still just drop the thing into the texture packs folder?
and are older texture packs compatible with 1.6?
No + No
But 1.5.x texture packs can be converted to resource packs with a program (that I don't have the link to, but I think someone talked about a few weeks ago in this topic).
i dont know if this is intentional but the folder that you download for default 64x is just labeled [1. i imagine that the [1 is supposed to be [1.6.2 just like the tother folders. i just wanted to let you know that, it doesn't really matter but it would be good to change.

Yeah I've noticed this too. Maybe it's the furnace expanding from the heat
Default has more default abiding textures e.g. They follow some of the 16x shapes from the original vanilla texture pack.
Smooth doesn't follow the default items as much, instead all lines are smoother and more 'realistic' if you like
About the impact on performance, all textures greater than 16x will have a greater impact on your system's performance than default. I assume since you're asking you know you don't have the most beastly specs. Chances are the higher bit textures will cause your system to stress more.
My suggestion is to try the 256x first and work your way backward. A lot of people can't run the 512x so since you're worried about performance I wouldn't suggest to start there.
If the 256 makes you lag more than you're comfortable with, try the 128x and so on, until you find one that won't make your PC cry.
I really like the 512x Smooth Realism, but it really annoys me that a lot of it is unfinished, so I was wondering if you could use textures from Default Realism as placeholders?

Retired Staff1. Most likely no.., switched to resource pack folder.
2. Also a no most likely, haven't tried yet.

The 512x smooth realism works fine. it's only the deault that does this.
2 pages back someone asked the same question. Answer below.
