I don't see anyone else with the problem, so I hope this may bring a few out of the woodwork.
Since Streaming tunes started I lag like when I first joined 1 1/4 yrs ago. All areas I go to are pegged in the red on the scales (pkg loss, kbs, etc) . I know logically audiostreams should not affect me this way, so I'm looking for someone who has experienced this too, and what was the fix? Greatly appreciated responses, I am

Humbly,

Me, too

I logged on as a resident on 31Jun04, and had little/no problem with lag - and that was a Saturday. Since about Tuesday morning, 03Aug04, I have been getting *awful* lag and cannot figure out why. I've set my preferences for faster settings, but this doesn't seem to change anything. People, I'm getting *really* frustrated here - I want to go out and *enjoy* SL!

I'm on a Sony Vaio laptop I purchased in Dec03, and here are my stats:

CPU Intel Pentium M Processor
Clock Frequency 1400/600 MHz
System Memory 512 MBytes
Cache Memory 1024 KBytes
Video Memory 32 MBytes
Internal HDD 60.011 GBytes

Model: Sony Vaio PCG-V505DXP (UC)
Bios: R0031G2 / RK031G2
OS Version 5.01.2600 ServicePack 1
WindowsXP Pro
Audio Yamaha AC-XG WDM Audio
Audio (MIDI) MS GS Wavetable SW Synth

Graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon 9200

Well, I have been getting problems where I suddenly start to 'bounce' endlessly, and have to restart, and also where I suddenly get stuck, and cannot talk or move.

I have noticed that this seems to happen when I am flying and suddenly hit an audio stream. I'm not sure there's a real connexion, but it's happened often enough to make me wonder.

Incidentally, this is the first version of sl where I have experienced any problems like this.

Also lagging badly

I've also started to lag badly. And it's not just when I'm flying about, either. I sat idle in one place and was talking with someone, and my messages would have up to a ten minute delay in being registered and visable.

I increased my allowed bandwith, and it didn't seem to help.
