I am connecting to SL through a satellite internet connection -- fast download speed (1 Mbit/sec) but slow "ping time" (close to a second). SL runs fine with this connection, notwithstanding the expected one-second lag between pressing the "go forward" key and actually going forward, etc. The bigger problem is that when the SL program connect, it takes on the order of five minutes to download my inventory. My husband explained to me what he thinks the problem is: the program downloads the inventory one item at a time, asking for each individual item separately, thus incurring the long data round-trip time for each item. If this is the case, will Linden Labs please consider changing how inventory is downloaded in future releases so it comes down in bigger chunks of data?

Personally I just wish they'd store it in your cache and download the changes. Not much will change over a period of even a week, except getting one or two new items, so...

Would really speed things up for me -- I don't know how long it takes to download the inventory on dialup, since I can't maintain a stable dialup connection for more than an hour or so.

Heck I wish they would store everything in the cache. I really couldnt care less about the landscape, I'm here for the chat, mostly, and the people I visit dont make a horrible amount of changes to their houses.
